Appendix 2: How to Network Your HD Receiver

Network Requirements:
To use your DIRECTV Receiver on your home network, you will need:
A compatible DIRECTV Receiver, such as the DIRECTV HD Receiver (models H21 and above)
A broadband Internet connection, with a minimum connection speed of 750 kbps or higher (DSL or cable)
A network router with an available Ethernet port
There are three (3) ways to connect your receiver to your home network:
1.
Wired - The fastest, most reliable connection. Your house must be wired for Ethernet, or you must run cables from a
network router to your DIRECTV Receiver.
2.
Powerline - This method requires special Ethernet Adaptors that allow you to connect to your network router via the
existing AC power line wiring in your house.
3.
Wireless - This can be easiest method if you already connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. However, wireless connections
may be slower and somewhat less reliable than wired.
