Direct TV , with RCA dish only..what do I need and what are my options , what would YOU DO?

Question:

I just took a job as a residential property manager. The building that I will be living in has an RCA Direct TV dish in the yard. That is all!! It does have two lines running into two rooms. What are my options and where should I start to see what to do. I have never had a dish before and haven't even had basic cable for several years. If you can give me a nice long answer for a novice to help me figure out where to go from here , it will be greatly appreciated. I don't need 2000 channels. But maybe the equivalent of basic cable plus a couple of movies. Please talk to me like I'm 9 yrs old , 'cause I know ZIP....John jjck2727@yahoo.com Also let me know what you've done about DVR.

Answer:
Okay call DirecTV at 1(800)DirecTV, let them know what you are looking for in terms of how many channels, how many rooms you want it in, if you want just recievers or DVR's.

DirecTV will come out free of charge and install a multiswitch from the two lines coming from the DirecTV Dish, then they will run cables to whatever rooms you want to watch TV in. If you want regular receivers they only use 1 coaxial cable line from the multiswitch, and a DVR will need 2 coaxial lines from the multiswitch.

If you have never had a DVR but you have used a VCR then you will LOVE a DVR so much better. You will wonder how TV EVER got along without DVR's, they are that cool..

Hope this helps, if you have any moe questions please feel free to send me an email..

That's just the antenna the real guts are in the digital Set-Top-Box receiver that decodes and converts the RF into electrical signals. You have no choice but to call Direct TV and inquire about activation.
