Satellite
In the United States BYUTV can be seen on two direct-broadcast satellite systems: Dish Network or DirecTV. Although interested individuals can purchase satellite systems from local retailers or from Dish or DirecTV directly, BYUTV has arranged with Utah-based NewStar Communications to provide priority installation nationwide to those who wish to receive BYUTV via either Dish Network or DirecTV. NewStar can be reached through a link on the BYUTV Web site (byutv.org) or by calling 1-800-528-1999 and by using referral code 2011.
The Dish Network’s Top 50 package (channel 9403). Dish Network subscribers must have the Dish 500 system to receive BYUTV, because the network is located on the Dish Network’s second satellite. Those interested in receiving BYUTV may contact NewStar Communications, any Dish Network reseller, or Dish Network directly at 1-800-333-DISH.
DirecTV PLUS‘s basic Select Choice package (channel 374). DirecTV PLUS subscribers must have a multi-satellite 18-by-24 oval dish and related receiver, because BYUTV is located on DirecTV’s second satellite.
