How to Connect Two DirecTV Signals
DirecTV customers sometimes need two satellite dishes installed to accommodate programming signals from different satellite locations. Foreign television packages from Europe, Asia or South America are a good example. If you require two DirecTV signals for your television programming, you can connect the signals and watch them on the same television.

Repeat the process with the second DirecTV receiver. All new televisions have more than one RCA video input connection, so you should not have any issue with connecting the two devices to your television. However, if you have an older TV and only one video input, connect a coaxial cable into the "Out" port of the receiver, then insert the opposite end of the cable into the "In" port on the television.
