DIRECTV Installation FAQ
Where do you install the DIRECTV Dish?
-To receive DIRECTV programming your home needs a clear view of the southern sky, unblocked by trees or buildings. Once that is determined, our professional installers mount the DIRECTV dish in the most appealing location for your home, apartment, condominium or townhouse.
Can I get DIRECTV programming if I live in an apartment or condominium?
-Yes! Many apartment and condominium residents have the dish installed on a private patio or balcony with a clear view to the southern sky. Ask for approval from the manager of your home, apartment, condominium or townhouse prior to set-up. If management has concerns about this, visit the FCC website for information about your rights to use a DIRECTV dish.
What will I get with standard professional installation?
-You'll receive a service call from a highly trained installer, installation of a dish on your roof, balcony or other location, running of up to 125 ft. of cable, 25 feet of phone line, drilling through one wall, connection of your receiver to your TV and VCR or DVD player, and a mini-lesson about your system and activation of your service.
Can I use just one DIRECTV dish for the whole house?
-You can use one dish for up to 6 receivers/rooms.
How large is the DIRECTV dish?
-The DIRECTV dish is small and unobtrusive with dimensions being 20" wide by 18" tall. All are round or oval shaped. Note: If you order a DIRECTV WorldDirect Service package, the DIRECTV Dish is 36" wide, round or oval shaped.
How long will it take to get my equipment?
-Equipment comes on your scheduled installation date and will be delivered by the installer. Installation dates are generally available within 24-72 hours of when the order is placed.
What happens when I move?
-Just call DIRECTV before you move and let us know when and where you'll be moving. The DIRECTV MOVERS CONNECTION gives you a new dish and standard professional installation with your annual commitment to any TOTAL CHOICE or OPCIÓN EXTRA programming package or above. Leave your DIRECTV dish behind and only take your existing receivers and remotes with you when you move.
-The account holder, or someone over the age of 18 authorized to make installation, payment and account decisions on behalf of the account holder, must be at home for the installation. If you live in an area governed by a Home Owners Association, installation of a DIRECTV System may require pre-approval. If you are not the property owner, the installer must have approval from your landlord before starting the work.
