Satellite receivers are an essential part of any working home satellite TV service. Receivers take signals from orbiting satellites and convert them into a usable TV signal. If you sign up for satellite TV service like that provided by DirecTV and Dish Network, the installer will typically connect a receiver, authorize it for use on the provider’s network and make sure it is working. Until the receiver is authorized for use, it will block any programming coming into it from the DirecTV satellite. If you have a DirecTV D11 receiver and need to unblock it for use with DirecTV service, you can do so in a few basic steps. Writer Bio
