No, internet is not required for Directv. You won’t have access to on demand or have the ability to order movies with your remote but otherwise, internet not required.
You don't need internet at all for DirecTV. It is for optional On Demand.
If you get a Genie setup (since the 2nd generation HR44), it has a WiFi option built-in to make it easy to connect.
However if you prefer a wired setup, but not convenient to run a Ethernet cable between DirecTV box and router, then you may want internet already there so the tech can install a deca from the coax to your router.
Need your help, please. We have Direct TV. Need Comcast (only available provider in our area) for new security cameras. Can I get streaming on my TV, and other options with Direct hook up on TV?
You can stream On Demand, use Start from the beginning and pay for PPV with the remote. You need to add a C71WK Gemini mini client or a streaming device to stream streaming services,
