What is the DIRECTV® System?
The DIRECTV System refers to the equipment that customers need to receive
DIRECTV programming from our orbiting satellites. Every DIRECTV Receiver
enables access to more than 265 digital-quality channels. Our customizable
on-screen program guide includes parental controls. For more details on
the equipment, check out our system manuals.
What is the DIRECTV® Plus DVR?
The DIRECTV Plus DVR (Digital Video Recorder) enables users to digitally
record up to 100 hours of television programming, record two shows at once,
pause and rewind live TV and much more.
Notes:
- Actual recording time varies depending on the type of programming being
recorded.
- For full functionality, the receiver requires connection of two satellite
inputs from a dual-LNB DIRECTV System dish antenna and continuous connection
to land-based phone line.
What is the DIRECTV HD DVR?
The DIRECTV HD DVR combines the crystal clear picture of high-definition
television with the digital recording power of a DIRECTV Plus DVR.
I live in an apartment or condo. Can I get a DIRECTV System?
Start by asking your landlord, property manager or homeowners' association
if you may install a DIRECTV® System on your rooftop or other building
location. If you're not authorized to mount the dish on the roof or the
side of the building, try your patio or balcony. Just make sure you have
a clear view of the Southern sky.
Your system installation may require structural modifications that may
be limited or restricted by the terms of your lease, rental agreement or
covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs). To avoid delays in
your installation, we ask that you obtain written or verbal permission
from your landlord, homeowners' association or property manager (or, alternatively,
review your lease/rental agreement/HOA CC&Rs to confirm permission
is not required) prior to scheduling your installation. To help you in
your request, please use our Installation
Permission form.
* Installation permission form must be used for all renters, including home, apartments and condos.
Do I need a phone line for DIRECTV to be installed?
You do not need a phone line to have DIRECTV installed; you can enjoy
DIRECTV without a phone line. However, if you want DIRECTV Plus DVR and/or
you want the ability to order Pay Per View channels from your remote control,
a phone line is required to send the information for DVR service and Pay
Per View requests to DIRECTV.
