Frequently Asked Questions About DIRECTV Installation
How much does it cost to get DIRECTV installed?
A standard professional DIRECTV installation comes at no extra cost when you order a DIRECTV package. However, some AT&T services may require more work and equipment, such as cabling or changing phone lines. In that situation, the technician will offer you a Custom Work Rate Sheet, which you can review for approval. Instead of receiving a bill for those services, you’ll pay the technician directly.
How long does it take for DIRECTV to install?
Depending on your home situation (number of screens, installation location, etc.), a DIRECTV installation can take between 2–5 hours. An adult 18 or older must be present for the entire installation, so please schedule accordingly.
