Answer 2

You can use a Dish antenna with Direct reciever, but only if its a single LNBF Dish 300 antenna and is conected direct to reciever, no switches.

Answer 3

The antenna will work just fine. Leave it as is. Just make sure that you aim it at the DirecTV satellite.  

It may NOT receive the HD programming as this requires special LNB's on the antenna but regular programming NO problem.

Answer 4

yes, an antenna is an antenna. but to receive directv, you need a directv receiver.

Let me know if you ever get this to work.
