No channels, a weak signal, or a new TV to hang? Here are rough prices, common problems, and what to agree with the technician.
Technicians rarely publish prices for this; it's usually agreed by phone. Here's what we found:
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Fixed TV wall bracket (from big stores) | SAR 25 – 65 |
| TV wall mounting (technician's fee) | From about SAR 60 |
| Satellite dish installation and receiver set-up | Price by agreement |
💡 Buy the right bracket for your TV's size and weight before the technician comes, or ask whether they bring one and what it costs.
📺 Many homes now watch channels over the internet (streaming apps) instead of a dish. Think about what suits you before fitting a new dish.
A rough guide from 4 sources in Saudi Arabia (October 2026), including TV bracket prices at big stores and technicians' ads. We couldn't find reliable published prices for dish installation in Riyadh. The final price is agreed between you and the technician. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually the dish has been moved by the wind, or the cable is loose or damaged. It needs re-aligning.
The signal is weak to begin with. More precise alignment or a slightly bigger dish fixes it.
Channels sometimes change frequency. The receiver needs a new scan or set-up.
The bracket isn't fixed well or the screws don't suit the wall. Fix it before it falls.
Ask the technician for cable trunking or wiring inside the wall when mounting.
You need a suitable dish and a motor or more than one LNB. Ask what's best.
Agree the full price before they come: fitting, cable and set-up.
Tell the technician the wall type (block, gypsum board) so they bring the right screws and plugs.
The centre of the TV is usually 105–115 cm from the floor, depending on your seating.
Ask whether new cable and connectors are included in the price.
Ask them to arrange your favourite channels on the receiver before they leave.
Look for genuine reviews, or ask someone who has used the technician.

Riyadh wind and dust move dishes. A solid fixing saves you call-outs.
If the dish is on the roof, make sure the technician doesn't drill through the insulation without sealing it.
Cable left in the sun cracks over time. Keep it in trunking.
A big TV must be mounted or secured properly so it can't fall on children.
