DirecTV H20 manual Before you begin Hardware Reference, Satellite Dish Antenna, Access Card

Before you begin

Your satellite dish antenna must be installed before you can begin following the procedures in this User Guide. (Professional installation is highly recommended.) Your dish needs to be mounted in a position where it has access to the satellite signals, and RG-6 coaxial cables must be run into the room(s) where your receiver(s) will be located. If you choose to install the dish yourself, see the separate instruction manual that came with your satellite dish antenna.

Hardware Reference

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 Receiver picks up the signal from your satellite dish antenna and translates it into viewable TV programming.

Access Card

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

Off-Air Digital Antenna (not included)

This antenna attaches to the back of your DIRECTV HD Receiver and is used to receive local “off-air” digital broadcasts.
