Can I install the satellite dish inside my house? In order to receive the signal, the dish must have a direct line of sight to the south through a window. However, many types of window glass  degrade the satellite signal. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you install your satellite dish outside in a suitable location.

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.

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.

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.
