YOUR PHONE CONNECTION
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.
YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION
Connecting your DIRECTV Receiver to the Internet and your home network gives you access to features like TV Apps, Music &
Photos, and more.
The instructions for connecting to a network are different depending upon whether you have Whole-Home DVR Service. Please see
Appendix 4.
NOTE:
For the most current options and instructions to connect
your receiver to the Internet, please visit directv.com/getconnected.
