DirecTV Satellite Dishes
DirecTV is one of the most popular satellite television networks. DirecTV works with a variety of satellite dishes for home and business use. There are even portable satellite dishes that can pick up DirecTV signals wherever you take your dish and align it properly.
DirecTV offers six different satellite dishes that range in size from round 18″ to ovals 36″ x 22″. Most households only need one satellite dish, no matter how many televisions they use inside the house. DirecTV satellite dishes need a clear view of the southern sky to work properly. For this reason, they are often mounted on rooftops or balconies. However, one can also mount the satellite dish on a pole in the yard if there are no trees or structures blocking the southern sky.
You can figure out your DirecTV satellite dish model number by looking at the top left corner of your remote. Also, the newest DirecTV Slimline Dish can be identified by a thin horizontal LNB section and the world ‘Slimline’ on the dish.
