Is this item compatible as a DVR expander for Directv?

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

That should be what you need it should be an "M stream" card. It's the same type of card that goes inside of a TiVo DVR. Also the signal is much better with the centon infiniTV then for instance the Comcast or Xfinity cable boxes in my experience in my residence

It will work with any DVR that has analog inputs on it. However, no matter what you connect it to, it will still give a crummy picture.

I tried it with dish network dvr 722 and a vizio 50 inch plasma tv. Sorry but It did not work with my setup and I had to return it.

Janice, I think you can if you have Wi-Fi in your home. That is what I did with mine. It connects your DTV DVR to the Internet without having to run cables. Hope this helps.

You might want to check lorex specs to get a better answer or ask lorex tech support. All the AV Drives are specifically for CCTV and not all the old DVRs are compatible.

If your DVR has BNC style inputs, you should be able to connect it. You don't have to use all the same brand or style.

I also installed this drive on my DirecTV DVR(HR23-700) and it caused nothing but problems. In particular, if you were in the menu-->manage recordings, etc. for any length of time, it would hang the unit and only a hard reset(pull the power plug) would work. I have since installed the WD DVR expander drive and have had zero problems. Western Digital My DVR Expander 1 TB eSATA External Hard Drive

If you have the hdmi or component inputs, unit should work. However, I had a lot of trouble with mine. The first week the DVR worked fine. After that it has not worked correctly. In my opinion it is a piece of junk. However, apparently it is the only game in town. When it works it is ok. It does not work all the time. I recomended to Amazon not to sell it. But what do I know?

I connect a standard def Directv box to it and have no issues. Works great.

If you have both a directv dvr and TiVo then yes. Cheaper to have only one or the other . Have you seen new monster TiVo? Expensive but huge dvr capacity!

I'm not sure, but I do know that it does NOT work with a Verizon DVR box so steer clear if you plan on using it for that

It works perfectly with Dish Hopper, which has an IR input... can't speak for DirecTV, but if it has IR, it should.

I am not qualified to answer your question. I was directed by my IT person to purchase the item to repair surveillance DVR. Sorry.

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

yes, as long as it is installed on the output side of your directv receiver. However I would recommend a HDMI splitter (with power)if you using a HDMI cable to connect from your directv rerceiver to your TV.

I have the exact same DVR on Time Warner Cable. And it works fine. The DVR recognizes the Expander and works fine. Unless your cable company loaded special firmware in the DVR to prevent the use of expanders, you shouldn't have any trouble.
