NO, you must have box activated by Directv.. over the phone.

my advice.. have television, receiver, dish, power cord.. all outside.. to align dish... so you can see signal on TV screen.. not someone else telling you..
I have a 19 inch flat screen just for this task. as I have a 32 inch inside trailer. and I am not moving it outside.
