Step 1: Prepare for your DIRECTV installation

It’s easy to prepare for your DIRECTV installation. For your scheduled appointment, an authorized person over 18 needs to be home during the installation. Set aside several hours for the installer to connect your system and show you how to use it. Pick the rooms where you’d like to watch DIRECTV and move your TV away from the wall to allow installation. To get the most out of your installation, have phone service or internet service activated prior to installation.

Step 2: Get DIRECTV Installed

During your installation, your certified DIRECTV installer will do the following:

  • Install a DIRECTV satellite dish on your roof, side of home, balcony, or other location.
  • Connect your DIRECTV receiver(s) to your current TV or other devices.
  • Conduct a system test to verify signal strengthen Walk you through a brief guide on how to use your new DIRECTV system.
  • Activate your DIRECTV satellite TV service.

Enjoy DIRECTV at your apartment

Wondering if you can enjoy great satellite TV service from DIRECTV in your apartment: yes, you can! Residents in condos or apartments are eligible for DIRECTV service. Your DIRECTV satellite dish could be mounted to your roof, private patio, or balcony— as long as you have a clear view of the southern sky.

Get permission

If you live in an apartment or condo, you will need to get written permission from your landlord, property manager, or Homeowner Association (HOA) for a DIRECTV installation. Also, if you rent a house, you will need to obtain permission. Why do you need to get permission? Your DIRECTV system installation may require structural modifications that may be limited or restricted by the terms of your lease or rental agreement. To avoid delays in your installation, get permission prior to scheduling your installation appointment.
