The DIRECTV Installation of the receiver unit is probably the most exciting part. After you have the initial cable running from the satellite dish to the DIRECTV Receiver, you should then finish pointing the dish with the coordinates that appear on the menu in the receiver unit itself. Once you have the dish pointing in the CORRECT direction, you can go ahead and distribute your DIRECTV Satellite Installation all over the house in as many or as little receiver units as you may have planned and already received for free or purchased extra. Then decide which feed and IRD (integrated receiver/decoder unit) is going to go where.

In the end everything is well connected and you know exactly what goes where. You have tested the reception from television to television every time you hooked another one up until all rooms have the equipment you want. First make sure you know what kind of DIRECTV Dish you need, survey the land, figure out a place with a direct line of sight to Texas, point between 30 to 60 degrees up in the air and go lay RG6 cable. Quad Sheild RG6 cable should be used outside to avoid interference with other signals. Inside the house, Dual Shield RG6 cable should be fine for threading signals around from room to room. The IRD receiver unit can be used to know the correct coordinates of the satellite in the sky and help you adjust accordingly. Once you have properly adjusted the dish, you can go all over the house and thread cable as you wish, testing each DIRECTV Installation, TV and receiver as you go, until your masterpiece is exactly as you want it.
