How to Buy DirectTV

With the click of a button on a large remote control, you can access hundreds of TV channels from around the world through DirecTV, a leading provider of satellite television. DirecTV has a variety of channel packages to choose from, including international packages in more than 10 languages. With a purchase of any package, you receive the satellite dish to mount on your home, and installation is often free.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access

Instructions

1. Decide where on your home your will mount the satellite dish. The dish needs an unobstructed view of the southern sky.

2. Check with your landlord to see if mounting a dish is allowed if you live in a residential building. Some residential buildings also might have DirecTV already wired.

3. Visit Directv.com (see Resources) and decide which channel package is best for you. Packages range from 50 to 265 channels.

4. Add extras to your package, such as a universal remote or a DVR.

5. Order your package through the DirecTV website, or contact a customer service agent by calling the toll-free number listed on the site.

Tips & Warnings

• The unobstructed view of the sky that the satellite dish needs means that the view cannot be blocked in any way by trees or other buildings.
