Directv,can I use a router?

Question

I am moving into a older home and we have Directv with 2 DVR's,and 2 standard boxes. Can I use a wireless router to send the satalite signal from one outlet to all 4 devices?

Answer 1

You'll need a Directv multi-switch with cables running to each one of the cables the signal will be send... but wireless service can't be. They don't work that way!!

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

Man, I wish!

But no

Answer 4

no, each receiver needs their own physical line run from the multiswitch in order to give you the programming.

You can call 1 800 531 5000 and request the movers department. If your account qualifies (and it most likely will) you could have the whole move done at no cost (just a service commitment of 18 or 24 months depending on if you opt for new advanced receivers), including having the wiring and new dish put up for you.
