they can install without a tv, but it is much easier if you have one.Comment -
As long as you can tell him where the TVs are going so he can run the wiring you don't need a person there for final install. They will activate your other receivers over the phone when the TVs arrive.Comment -
no TV needed...after the guy is gone, carry your TV (if it's small) around to make sure everything works in every room.
now SALOON this horse shit!Comment -

Hate to play Devil's Advocate here but it actually depends on the tech.
I haven't had DirecTV in 2 years since my initial install. But techs get paid by job. Not individual receivers. So technically since your job won't be complete because your 3rd tv isn't there. The tech won't get paid by Directv unless job is complete 100%. Tech may intentionally change work order to 2 TV's so it's complete. Then you'd have to bit@# at DirecTV on that one bringing out another tech once your 3rd TV arrives. Again, it's all on the tech that arrives. Will he be easy to work with? Or will he be a dik?Comment
