Direc Duo is hybrid satellite receive system that provides satellite-delivered TV reception and two-way satellite Internet access using the same antenna.

Direc-Duo satellite that combines with Direc-TV to not only get your TV programming, but will also connect you to the Internet with a much improved, faster connection. What is more important is that once some new satellites are up and working this year, you should be able to use this Internet connection without using a phone line. I think that's a big plus. This is a good way for DTV to further monetize their existing customer base.

And that's not all. DW4000 system can be configured with an optional dual-LNB for receiving DIRECTV® digital satellite television service. DIRECTV receivers and service are sold separately. Now the excitement of broadband Internet AND the quality choice of digital satellite television can be received on a single satellite system.....

Outdoor Equipment

In addition each DIRECWAY system can be optionally equipped with an additional dual- LNB to receive DIRECTV using the same antenna. This configuration is called DirecDUO. Figure 2 shows the DIRECWAY antenna configured without the DirecDUO option. The outdoor equipment is connected by two RG-6 coaxial cables to the indoor equipment.
