Huh? Please explain in more detail what you want to do.
I'll assume you want to be able to use your TV tuner to get the DirecTV channels like they do in a hotel.
Well, hotels have to use tuners.

No Receivers = no signal. The incoming signal from the sattelite has to be decoded to a tv signial and that can olnly be done by a receiver.
I recommend messing with the coax to give you that authentic, scrambled effect when watching dirty movies....
Be nice. Remember most of us had the same amount of satellite knowledge as the OP guy once upon a time. 
OP, what you don't see at the hotel is the closet they have somewhere that has a rack full of satellite receivers, each of those outputting a single channel to the distribution system that drives all the TVs in the hotel.

it is possible, but it's prohibitively expensive for home use. where i work i have a rack with 5 Dish receivers each set to a certain channel and 4 Digital OTA for the 4 major networks receviers that feeds a modulator bank that serves the 9 channels over our phone lines to various offices. then with the proper demodulator on the other end, a tv can be hooked up to tune channels 2-10 based on what the units on the rack are tuned to.
There's no way to eliminate the receviers but it can appear that they are.

Didn't D* partner with a TV manufacturer and sell a TV with a card slot on the side at Best Buy maybe? Maybe this was before HD (right around when the flat panels & widescreens started really selling).
At one time Directv and Humax teamed up to create a TV with a built-in Directv SD receiver. Strangely, it is still on Directv's web site http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPage.jsp?assetId=2950005.
RCA did this a few years ago when HD first started, I have seen a few of them on upgrades
I am with D* now.Must be even more dead on the other side if you had to come here to reply to this thread.
That's good news.
Why not update your signature?
Or is it being sarcastic?
Is it being sarcastic? uhh no, not sarcastic at all.
