DirecTV: Will this work?

yes. my connection is from a directv setup and I use it to record football games and tv shows. couldn't be easier. I use the component video with a separate digital audio cable from the directv reciever to get high def sound with the video. you can use editing software to remove commercials easily and either burn to dvd or as jr says below replay the files anytime to your tv using a media player -- add a cheap external drive to store and you never have to keep up with DVD again.

We have a Directv HD box and it works. We had to call VuQube to get the settings to put the DirecTV HD box on. We left a phone message and they got back with us in about 30 mins. We followed their instructions and bingo it worked. NO channels come in HD but you can see them.

The cable will work fine for DirecTV. One thing you might also want to consider is the use of "Compression" F connectors instead of the "Crimp" type. I've found that the compression connectors are easier to install and provide a more robust connection. Also remember to weatherproof any outdoor connections you make.

Yes, contact Directv with the s/n and they can tell you if it is available for reactivation

yes, I use it with our DirectTV. It works with the regular box and the Genie box.

Worse case scenario your directv box does not support RF. The good news is the RF remotes can still be set to IR if necessary.

Bringing along the box will probably not work with directv. The access cards are set for a location, and if it does not match up -- and I tried this with locations that were 10 miles apart -- the access card will be disabled. Directv does this to stop what is suggested here, i.e. getting a box at another location for only $5 a month.

Yes, both will receive the signal being sent out by the Directv box. I currently have it setup with a 3d projector and a standard hd tv. I am running standard hd to both. I have not tried turning on the 3d since I never watch anything in 3d.

Directv works with this but it is important to go throughthe setup to select the correct type of dish you have, make sure your transponder signals are high in the 90's, and most of all if the dish is not placed correctly on the roof like most a setup to face the south you will get nothing.

This box doesn't solve your problem. You need a HD-DVR in conjunction with this box to enjoy all the functionality of DirecTV, particularly OnDemand. Sorry...

This should do the job, I asked my local provider the same question, and they use a 3 shield cable. I asked if quad would work, and they told me it was over kill for the service, but it would work just fine. So it should work for direcTV.

Yes. I have a outside security camera and needed to plug the HDMI cable from the TV and to the converter box. I then plugged the red, white and yellow cable into the box also, because there was no extra red, white and yellow ports on the TV to support them. I don't know if it would work on DirecTV, It might Work. Hope this help.

Sorry, Josh. I can state for a fact that this unit will NOT work with Directv. I had them and dropped them due increasing price increases. Tivo units will work ONLY with cable systems (I.E. verizon, comcast). Good luck. Mo

Works with my DirecTV/DVR. No reason it won't work with yours. It should work to convert any infra-red signal remote to RF.

I use mine as a DVR expander for Dish. I'm not sure about Direct, but would assume so.

That was the whole reason we bought the unit because it DOES work with DirecTV. Most everyone we ever spoke directly with in the DISH network, never seemed to know what worked and what didn't. We gave up on DISH many years ago.
