Yes, to use DIRECTV, you typically need a satellite dish. DIRECTV provides satellite TV services, and the dish is required to receive the signal from their satellites. The dish is usually installed on the roof or another location with a clear view of the sky, and it connects to a receiver inside your home to deliver TV programming.
However, there are some exceptions or alternatives for specific services. For example, DIRECTV Stream, which is a newer, internet-based service, does not require a satellite dish since it streams live TV over the internet. But if you are subscribing to the traditional satellite service, the dish is necessary.
