Let me get this straight... (i'm clueless) Is this product compatible with DirecTV?

This would be attached to another device (like a Tivo recorder), which would in turn be controlling your DirecTV receiver. You would use a remote for the Tivo, which would then control the DirecTV receiver (to change the channels). As long as the Tivo is able to receive commands from the remote, the Tivo would pass the signal through this cable to the IR sensor on your DirecTV box. The Tivo would have to be visible, but the DirecTV box would not. This would NOT, however, allow you to just hide your cable box and keep using it. For that you need to find an RF-based remote. Pretty sure DirecTV will be happy to sell/lease you RF-based remotes and receivers for a bit more money, then you won't have line-of-sight issues and can control the device through walls or with a closed media center door in the way. You may be able to find some kind of converter that receives RF signals from an RF remote and converts them to IR signals through a cable like this, but that's really starting to jury-rig your entertainment system.

Mine was "bent" when it arrived. It wouldn't work. If you have Direct TV you can have a second unit with no cost if you promise not to use both at the same time. No problem for me as we are either in one place or the other. You just have to move one of your units to the second location. With Direct you will need their "special" hook-up.It will not work otherwise.

I suppose you can always get one that won't work, but The one I have works great. I have one for my RV and I really haven't had any problems as long as it can be setup properly at the camp site. You will of course have to register it with Directv before it will work.

I don't know but what I do know is the HDMI input that connects to my DirectV box quit working two days ago. I initially assumed it was a DirectV problem but ultimately determined the problem was with the 4 month old Denon AVR-E200. So to have it repaired I have to ship it to them. This is my first and last Denon product. I have had several Sony's over the last 15 years and never a technical problem.

Don't know - never tried it, but I doubt it. It's infrared which requires line of sight. It's a straight replacement for original DirecTV equipment, not any kind of an upgrade.

I'm sorry, I don't have DirectTV either. It works great off cable and DVDs.

Yes. I am also wiring for Directv. They require RG6, which this is. Have fun!

Yes it's compatible with the DIRECTV Genie, here's a link to our product page: http://www.wiredathome.com/cables-and-accessories/satellite-tv-accessories/multiswitches/swm/directv-swm16-single-wire-multi-switch-16-tuners/

You are welcome. I switched to HD last year. DirecTV did the installation for free after I paid for the service and receiver. One warning though. The DirecTV brand HD receiver is very slow. Spend the extra money and get the Tivo brand HD receiver.

I would think so. I Don't have DirecTV, I have Xfinity and I spit the signal from the cable box with out any problems. I have split to another tv(samsung), xbox one, ps4, macbook pro, and dvd recorder. My only suggestion is to use proper HDMI cables and not the $3 china crap.

This will play 3D content supplied through a cable or satellite service, I don't have Direct TV specifically but know this to be true. Hope this helps.

I don't know about directv. I only have Comcast and it did not work with their cable boxes.

My answer to you is "don't buy used". This was such a disappointment to me it wasn't clean and there wasn't a card in the slot. I will never buy this way again. I'm purchasing either from Directv directly or new from another website, you can always "google".

Have ATT DSL hooked up and Uverse ready but use Directv instead but so should be compatible

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

We have direct tv and it works fine with the box, if that's what you are referring to.
