Seattle Satellite Installation Installation

We make it easy to get setup with DIRECT TV.

First, DIRECT TV Standard Professional Installation is free. That's right - no cost to get started. And, with Expert Satellite, you can get DIRECTV receivers setup in four rooms, including advanced Directv HD or Direct TV DVR receivers, for free. And, with Expert Satellite, Shipping and Handling is also free - because equipment is not shipped to your home or apartment. This is important...

At Expert Satellite we use DIRECTV's own nationwide network of certified local installers - who bring all of the equipment you need to the installation appointment. No problems with lost or damaged shipments, and you can change your mind and add DIRECT TV service to another room or upgrade to HD or DVR service while the installer is at your home.

When you order with us, our Sales Agents use DIRECTV's in-house scheduling system to get an installation appointment that works best for you.

Where do you install the DIRECTV Dish?
To receive DIRECTV programming your home needs a clear view of the southern sky, unblocked by trees or buildings. After that, our professional installers mount the DIRECTV dish in the most appealing location for your home, apartment, condominium or townhouse.

Can I get DIRECTV programming if I live in an apartment or condominium?
Yes! Many apartment and condominium residents have the dish installed on a private patio or balcony - a clear view to the southern sky is required. Ask for approval from the manager of your home, apartment, condominium or townhouse prior to setup. If management has concerns about this, visit the FCC website for information on your rights to use a DIRECTV dish.

What will I get with standard professional installation?
You'll receive a service call from a highly trained installer, installation of a dish on your roof, balcony or other location, running up to 125 ft. of cable, 25 feet of phone line, drilling through one wall, connecting your receiver to your TV and VCR or DVD player, a mini-lesson about your system and activation of your service.

Can I use my existing wiring in my house with my DIRECTV System?
In most cases, your existing wiring can be used. Your installer will verify this upon arrival.

Can I use just one DIRECTV dish for the whole house?
Yes. One dish is all you need, no matter how many receivers/rooms are hooked into it.

How large is the DIRECTV dish?
The DIRECTV dish is small and unobtrusive, about 20" wide by 18" tall, and all are round or oval shaped. Note: If you order a DIRECTV WorldDirect Service package, the DIRECTV Dish is 36" wide, round or oval shaped.

How long will it take to get my equipment?
Equipment comes on your scheduled installation date, and will be delivered by the installer. Installation dates are generally available within 24-72 hours of when the order is placed.

What happens when I move?
Just call DIRECTV before you move and let us know when and where you'll be moving. With the DIRECTV MOVERS CONNECTION, a new dish and standard professional installation is provided with your annual commitment to any TOTAL CHOICE or OPCIÓN EXTRA programming package or above. Leave your DIRECTV dish behind, only take your existing receivers and remotes with you when you move.

The account holder, or someone over the age of 18 authorized to make installation, payment and account decisions on behalf of the account holder, must be at home for the installation. If you live in an area governed by a Home Owners Association, installation of DIRECTV System may require pre-approval. If you are not the property owner the installer must have approval from your landlord before starting the work.

Sports blackouts and your ability to receive local channels or broadcast network services may be affected by your new address. Customers who rent or lease their DIRECTV equipment are not eligible.
