A:AnswerYes, if your handy. As of June 2019 ORBY web site now lists the self installation kit for $ 85.00. Supplies that you may need that the kit may not have are ground lugs, ground wire, RG6 cable, ground wire, diseqc switch/multi switch/splitter (*specific to *ORBY/FTA systems for 3 & 4 receivera), RG6 or better coaxial cable and pitch patch/tar pad (for roof mount). For non permanent situations: tripod, pole, concrete, bucket, cinderblocks or wood pallet.
A:AnswerNo, you do not need internet or Wifi in order to receive programming. There is an online account you can use to control your spending and activate the account but if you don't have any internet at all you can simply call them to set up the whole thing.
A:AnswerThe short answer is no. You can only record programs on the receiver that has a dvr. And you can't record programs on the tvs that just has a basic orby receiver. Nor can you control your dvr receiver with any of those remotes. As for the distance, that is no problem. Orby is satellite and you will not only get all of your local stations but any of the services that they offer which you subscribe to.
A:AnswerNo, the device is small enough to be portable and moved from location to location, but it would not be considered mobile because it requires a stationary antenna or satellite dish.
A:AnswerIt's a prepaid deal. So you pay for the install and the equipment up front. ($250 total for a receiver plus one-room installation). Then you can pay Orby TV monthly for the satellite service or you can not pay and just watch local channels for free. No contract so you can decide what you want to spend each month.
A:AnswerIt has to be an Orby dish. you can get one on your balcony if it is on the south side and there aren't any other buildings in the way. Maybe theyll let you do that?
A:AnswerYou can hook up to 4 boxes to one dish. And yes, the receiver will take the digital (local) tv stations and put them on the guide alongside the satellite channels. You don't have to switch inputs or anything.
A:AnswerOne year for dish and antenna. There can be rain fade for satellite channels but not for the local channels...they come through an antenna. They do not have their own satellite. They are leasing space on an existing satellite.
