MODEL HIRD-C2 OWNERS PLEASE NOTE
:
If you have the model HIRD-C2 receiver and are utilizing the DIRECTV Plus satellite antenna,
please refer to the installation instruction included with the dish. The following instructions are
for the 18” satellite antenna only. After installing the dish, continue with this manual starting at
the section titled “Authorizing Your Service” found later in this chapter.
If you decide to install the antenna yourself, we recommend you purchase the Do-It-Yourself

Drill bits (1/8-inch,
3/16-inch, 1/2-inch
masonry)

Carpenter’s level

7/16-inch, or
adjustable)

•
Hole digging tools
•
Wheelbarrow or
concrete mixing box

Confirm that you have all of the antenna kit components. Since the dish may be one of three
