    You will most likely need to change your satellite dish. I am not 100% sure if you need to (as it depends on your current dish). You could just need to add an LNB (Low-noise block converter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). I would not recommend messing with this stuff unless you know what you are doing (and especially since DirecTV will not warranty anything anymore if you mess it up).

    Call DirecTV and see what they have to say.
