To change a park to a cable system fed by either of those two satellite companies will cost multiple thousands of dollars. The park will need to install a head end unit, amplifier and combiner with individual satellite receivers for each channel they intend to distribute. Either provider will charge for both the channels distributed and by the number of sites served. A 30 channel distribution system will probably have an upfront cost in excess of $25,000, if their current cable system will abandon the unground wiring and taps to them. If they have to run new cabling, tens of thousands more.
