Getting Connected

Other Connections

Telephone Jack and Cord

The telephone line cord is required to connect your DIRECTV HD Receiver to a land-based telephone line if you choose to subscribe to DIRECTV programming. The phone line connection is used to periodically call DIRECTV. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common type of phone jack). Note: Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your warranty.

Line Splitter

The line splitter lets you plug both a telephone and your DIRECTV HD Receiver into the same wall jack if necessary. (Not included with your DIRECTV HD Receiver.)

RF REMOTE Antenna Jack and Cable

Used to operate the DIRECTV HD Receiver when installed in a cabinet or from another room in your house via an RF remote control. Use this jack and cable to connect an RF antenna to the RF REMOTE ANTENNA jack of your DIRECTV HD Receiver. Then configure the remote control included with your receiver to work with the RF antenna.

Satellite In and Off-Air In

Coaxial cables are used to connect to your TV and satellite dish and/or off-air antenna. The RF jacks on the receiver are labeled SATELLITE IN, OFF AIR IN. Note: Be sure to use RG-6 coaxial cable when connecting from the satellite dish to the DIRECTV HD Receiver.
