Thank you for your interest in DIRECTV®. To subscribe to DIRECTV, please complete the following steps:

Purchase your DSS® equipment and arrange for installation. For information on how to obtain DSS equipment or to receive an information packet about public viewing, please call Godwin Companies, Inc. at 1-800-790-6777.

Select the programming that you wish to receive by checking the appropriate entries on the Public Viewing Order Form which is included in the information packet.

Review, complete and sign the DIRECTV Public Viewing Agreement. If ordering NFL SUNDAY TICKETTM, also review, complete and sign the NFL SUNDAY TICKET contract. DIRECTV must receive two original executed copies of the NFL SUNDAY TICKET Contract.

Make a copy of your establishment's Fire Code Occupancy Certificate. If no Fire Code Occupancy Certificate is available supply blueprints or a letter from your fire marshall, stating the establishment's occupancy. If your establishment has seating out of sight of your televisions, you may also include the capacity of your television viewing area, or estimated viewing occupancy (EVO). This does not replace the need for the Fire Code Occupancy Certificate, which is required for activation of all occupancy tiered programming.
