The need to have a television system with better reception, clearer images, clarity in sound, and a larger number of channels and services has impacted the growing need for a digital satellite receiver in many homes in Nigeria today.
Being a digital satellite installer can be a profitable enterprise, according to an installer, Akinwale Yekini, as it requires a few months of training and some capital to get started.
According to him, technology has made the work easier than ever before. Prior to now, you could not work without electricity. But today, through the use of a digital signal finder called Meter, you can track a signal even when there is none.
Tools

Training
Although attending college is not exactly a must before working as an installer, the majority of people who work as satellite installers learn their trade on the job and accumulate their knowledge along the way.
Market
“For this business, there is a market. This digital satellite is being installed in lots of residences, businesses, lodging facilities, places of worship, educational institutions, pubs, and even clubhouses because users can be certain that they will be able to access their preferred programming, such as sports, movies, and reality shows, through the device,” Yekini said.
Profitability
On profitability, Yekini stated that, the price to install a satellite system for a single room is roughly N5,000; however, the price may be more if it is dual view depending on other aspects like location and distance.
Following the initial installation, there is a chance that customers will continue to call you for system maintenance. This could be due to poor signal reception caused by inclement weather or a very frequent associated with the receiver, he stressed.
