Frequently Asked Questions About DirecTV

Everything you need to know about DirecTV

DirecTV is the largest satellite TV provider in the United States offering live television via satellite dish to households across all 50 states. It is the only TV provider that offers NFL Sunday Ticket and is available in rural and remote areas where cable TV does not reach. Packages range from 165 to 330+ channels.

Yes. DirecTV requires a 24-month service agreement for all packages. Early termination fees apply if you cancel before the end of your contract. This is one of DirecTV’s main drawbacks compared to cable TV providers like Spectrum and Xfinity which offer no-contract options.

NFL Sunday Ticket is an add-on package available exclusively on DirecTV that lets you watch every out-of-market NFL game every Sunday during the regular season. It is the only way to watch your favorite NFL team live regardless of where you live. Ask your agent about current NFL Sunday Ticket pricing and promotions.

Yes. DirecTV includes local broadcast channels — ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and PBS — in most markets. Local channel availability varies by location. In rare cases where local channels are not available via satellite DirecTV provides an over-the-air antenna to receive local channels.

No. DirecTV is a satellite TV service only and does not include home internet. You will need a separate internet provider. Call us at (888) 224-5870 and we can bundle DirecTV with a home internet provider at your address for maximum savings.

Yes. The DirecTV app lets you watch live TV, recorded shows, and on-demand content on your phone, tablet, or laptop. You can stream up to 4 devices simultaneously on most packages. The app requires an internet connection to stream content outside your home.

DirecTV requires a satellite dish installed on your home or property and a Genie HD DVR receiver. All equipment is leased from DirecTV and included with your service. Professional installation is required — DirecTV does not offer self-installation. A clear view of the southern sky is needed for the satellite dish.

DirecTV has more channels than most cable TV providers and is the only source for NFL Sunday Ticket. It is available nationwide including rural areas where cable doesn’t reach. The main disadvantages are the 24-month contract requirement, equipment lease fees, and potential signal issues during severe weather. Cable TV providers like Spectrum and Xfinity offer no-contract options and are generally more reliable during storms. If sports and channel selection are your priority DirecTV wins. If flexibility and no contracts are more important cable TV is the better choice.
