I was just given a direct tv satelite dish and I'm clueless about it. What do I need to do to use it. Thanks

A receiver from directv. Mounting the dish really isn't that hard. The receiver comes with an access card that DirecTV will program on your account. Also you need a whole lot of co-axial cable. You will need to run it from your dish, all the way to your tvs in your home. You can have up to 4 tv's hooked up to the directv dish. You will need a de-stacker to do that (looks like a 4 way cable spliter). I highly suggest getting a DirecTV Tivo if you want to truely enjoy the service.
