I paid $60 for dish and receiver. I declined the free install.

It has paid for itself already.

Only if you're buying a multi-sat dish and then only if you buy retail.

Multi-sat dish at Radio Shack: $150

Round dish at Radio Shack: $50

Multi-sat dish on eBay: $100

Round dish on eBay: $30

Just a couple of examples. Most have round dishes, though it still adds up if stolen multiple times.
