DIRECTV installation

An independent contractor installs the equipment at your premises and shows you how to operate the system. Our independent contractors meet the highest performance standards and their expertise will meet all of your needs.

Satellite dish installation

To receive DIRECTV® programming, your business needs an installation location with a clear view of the southern sky, unblocked by trees or buildings. Most dishes are installed on a roof or balcony, but other arrangements can be made to accommodate your structure and preferences.

Receivers installation

Unlike other commercial installations that require one receiver per television, commercial lodging and institution installations require a dedicated receiver for each channel selected. Receivers are maintained in a centralized location and are connected to each television on the premises though cable drops.

DIRECTV System access card

All DIRECTV System access cards must be seated in their assigned receivers for the appropriate service to be delivered.
