Adding another box to my service.
I want to add another box to my service in a garage or another dwelling that is about 100 feet away from my house. It’s the same address but a different building all in a remote location with no cellular service. What would be involved to get this done? Would the other dwelling need a separate dish or can we just run a wire from the dish to the additional box?

You can either install an additional dish on the other dwelling or run a coaxial wire from the current dish to the dwelling. Additionally, if the distance of the dwelling is less than 80ft from the current directv installation and you are utilizing a Genie receiver, you may purchase a wireless Genie client to use wirelessly with the use of a Wireless Video Bridge. This wireless Genie client will be in the dwelling and won’t need a coaxial connection since it connects wirelessly to a Video Bridge connected in the house.

Thank you for your input, @detuch254. @Dpb1066, DIRECTV satellite is built as one service per address, not unless you have a Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU), which has a special setup. Since the garage is 100 feet away from the house, you will need to install a new dish and a separate primary box. Mohammad, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Direct tv help. Would the new dish and the separate primary box be a separate service or can it just be added to the service that I already have in the house?

Good question, @Dpb1066! Yes, it needs to be registered as a separate service. We'd love to help you get a new one, here are the current packages we have for you: https://www.directv.com/ Ryan, DIRECTV Community Specialist
