Your Phone Connection
Your Internet Connection
Note:For the most current options and instructions to connect your receiver to the
Internet, please visit directv.com/getconnected.
Connecting your receiver to a land-based telephone line saves you money because it allows you to purchase Pay Per View movies
and special events without calling DIRECTV to order. It is required for sports package subscriptions and is also used to enhance the
interactive features available on our interactive channels. The receiver uses a toll-free number once a month for a few minutes
duration and is designed not to interfere with your regular phone service. You will need an RJ11-type modulator jack (the most common
type of phone jack). If you disconnect the phone line, the receiver will not allow you to purchase PPV programs and some features of
our interactive channels will be limited. If your receiver is connected to the Internet, either directly or via a DIRECTV Home Network
connection, you do not need to be connected to a phone line. See “Your Internet Connection” below.
Do not connect your receiver to a digital PBX phone system — doing so may permanently damage your equipment and void your
warranty.
Connecting your DIRECTV Receiver to the Internet and your home network gives you access to features like TV Apps and more.
The instructions for connecting to a network are different depending upon whether you have Whole-Home DVR Service. Please see
Appendix 2.
