Can I use my existing wiring for DIRECTV? If the cable in your house is RG-6 coax cable, you can use it to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to your satellite dish. If your cable is not RG6 coax, you will need to run new cable. It is important that you use RG6 cable due to the frequency of the digital signals it must carry.

Is the DIRECTV broadcast compatible with various surround-sound technologies? The DIRECTV System is compatible with Dolby Pro Logic Surround-Sound and Dolby Digital. To get true surround-sound, you will need a Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital surround sound processing unit. Basically, you will be able to experience surround-sound with DIRECTV® programming if your home theater system has surround-sound capability.

If I mount my satellite dish outside, will it get stolen? The dish is the least expensive component of the system and is basically useless without the set-top receiver. Also keep in mind that the dish is small enough to be placed in an inconspicuous location on your home or property.

Does DIRECTV offer local network channels? Yes, a law passed by the U.S. Congress allows us to offer local television channels to selected areas. Eligible customers can order their local channel package for $5.99 a month. Please visit our local channel page to find out if you qualify for local networks. In some markets, you will need to have a DIRECTV Multi-Satellite System.

Can DIRECTV be connected to more than one television set in my house? Buying separate DIRECTV Receivers for various television sets in your home gives you the flexibility of watching different DIRECTV programs on different television sets. To do this, you'll need to have a dual-LNB DIRECTV System.

Can I install the DIRECTV System myself or should I hire someone? Our customers who use professional installers typically have fewer technical concerns later on, and professional installation is quite affordable. If you're purchasing an oval-shaped satellite dish, that installation is more complicated, so you'll definitely want a professional to take care of it.
