Can I use this with DirecTV receiver?

Yes, I own these speakers, and have doubled them as a home theater system, since they seem to serve a dual purpose. Sure, they are marketed as PC speakers, but with that adapter, you probably have the best television speakers you could ever own as an amplifier to what you watch as well, including sports and movies, where this set shines. I'd highly recommend these over Bose Cinemates, they give you about the same amount of sound for a lot less money, trust me.

It will only work if your DirectTV dish is SWM type.If you are on SWM type, it means that all your equipment must also be of type SWM (which does know hot communicate with these type of spliters).

Yes, there is an optical input so you can directly connect the Directv box with the receiver to get audio. If your TV supports the Audio Return Channel (ARC), the HDMI cable connecting this surround sound system and the TV could also be used to hear the DirecTV audio. Also, if you have a Samsung smart TV, you can use the Anyconnect to hear your DirecTV audio. Hope this helps.

Short answer "Yes"; I don't know anything about DirectTV but if there is an Optical Out on the Direct TV box then you can use the Optical In on the unit. I've got an Optical Out on my TV and I have that connected to the unit's Optical IN and it works great. The remote has a button to switch from "TV" sound to the "Speakers" and it works great; it's using the input from the Optical cable.

Yes. It is pretty easy to set up tho you may have to contact Direct TV to get the receiver activated

Not sure which Directv receiver I use but I sent signal through 50ft HDMI cable to tv and it worked great.

I bought this equipment for my daughter's bedroom but it was not compatible with my DirecTV satellite. You mayhave to call and confirm that the box will work before you buy it. Sorry I cannot give a better answer...

Yes, provided you have a wireless router in the house or access to a Wi-Fi network. When you connect this to your DirecTV receiver, it will look for available wireless networks and then you enter the security key. Really very simple to hook up and get working!

It depends on if the receiver is leased out or not. If it is under a lease to another customer then no u can't use it. just call directv and give then the number on the back of receiver and they will tell u if its useable .

First off, yes you can connect your Directtv. It has an HDMI input, s-video, component, and Usb inputs. Anything that outputs with those methods will work. It DOES NOT have a built in tuner. So you would simply run an HDMI cable from your Directtv unit. That's it. It does not have audio, so you would still need to have your audio from the Directtv running to a sound bar or other audio source, which you may already have. Hopefully this helps.

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.

hi, no really, i have seen some articles on line that use this device to network internet over coaxial cable but not all devices will be able to read it . some directv receivers models are able to work with this equipment.

I have used it for setting up Hotbird, Eutelsat and Astra signals. It displays all the transponders within these signals. DirecTV is US based I think so I cannot say if it will work as I'm in Europe. Chances are it will as it is designed for just about any satellite signal beamed down.

If the directv reciever works with a wired LAN connection then yes. It works just like a wired LAN connection. Anything that needs a wired LAN connection will work via this wireless port device. Works the same as the WGA600N.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

I have 3 components connected to my receiver - An Amazon TV, a Blu-Ray disk player and the Directv receiver - all using HDMI cables. You do need to have the receiver on, but how else would you get that beautiful sound! If your DirecTV receiver doesn't have an HDMI output, you can connect the DirecTV box to the composite video inputs on the front of the receiver and select the V-Aux input on the remote control. You may be able to connect it to one of the composite video inputs on the back, but I didn't try that. I hope that helps. TopCatOnyx
