Satellite Dish Antenna

This is your “dish” and related hardware, affixed to your roof or other surface, which picks up the broadcast signals from our satellites.

DIRECTV HD Receiver (or Satellite Receiver)

Your DIRECTV HD Receiver picks up the signal from your satellite dish antenna and translates it into viewable TV programming (plus the remote control).

DIRECTV System

Refers to the combination of the above components.

Access Card

Contains information about your DIRECTV® service. It must be properly inserted for your receiver to work and to activate your programming.

Multi-switch

A multi-switch takes the signal from a satellite dish and allows multiple DIRECTV HD Receivers to utilize it so that you can watch different programming on multiple TVs. If your antenna doesn’t accommodate the number of DIRECTV HD Receivers you’re installing, you may need this optional device. Note: Cable TV splitter will not work in this same way.

Off-Air Digital Antenna

This antenna attaches to the back of your DIRECTV HD Receiver and is used to receive local “off-air” digital broadcasts (not included).
