Can I connect to my direct TV box to connect the DTV box to internet? Basically use the sony as a modem for the DTV box?

No, there is a direct wired ethernet port or wifi to connect to the Internet, but there is no pass through. There is everything you could want on this unit including Netflix and Amazon Video Streaming. I have 2 and am very happy I purchased them.

I never did anything like this. The basic principles for this type of connection is an input and output HDMI, composite audio video and a video line in your DTV able to view the contents from the Sony NSZ. I think you're thinking too advance on this Sony. There's lots of limitation on this simple machine, don't go crazy on it...hope that answer your question.

I don't have cable or direct connected to it. It has to have a router to function. I have mine running wi-fi from my router through my Onkyo THX reciever. I use the Cat/Sat input on my network A/V receiver. And have the NSZ-GT1 connected to the Blu-Ray HDMI input. This thing is awesome!

Basically no. You have to have a cable modem to connect the Sony NSZ to the internet. Since you would already need a "modem" to connect the Sony, you would use it to connect your DTV to the same modem. The Sony is not a modem in itself.

You can hook it up but if your cable box has hdcp encryption which I'm sure it does use you will not be able to watch tv from it. You will need to get a dvi-hdmi converter to bypass that part of it.

I'm not sure, I don't use a Cable Box or Satelite Dish. My Antenna goes right to the back of my TV and into the Coax spot on the back. If your DirectTV is plugged into this spot, you'll need to remove that and use the Antenna. Then you might need to go into TV settings and tell it to not use Cable and use Antenna instead.

No. I have three of these. I bought my last one two months ago. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. I have to keep pressing the buttons hard to get it to work. All the money I spent on these cheap ones, I could have used to buy one from Directv.

Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself. I switched the tv back to analog and turned on the DR560. The channels came in the same as my dtv or converter box I use on another tv. I would think it has to do with the Input as someone already answered. I am hooked up with the RCA jacks from the dvd to tv. You might want to try the RF Modulator if you don't have the jacks. That's one reason I purchased a new TV. Also, someone wrote about the clock being an issue after Feb. 17th. I checked the manual and it does allow you to manually set the clock, so hopefully this will not be an issue. Hope this helps. Good Luck Hi, I have a dtv and tried it myself.

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

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.

The only way I know to do that would be to port your connection from a phone or tablet(with the slingbox software/app) on it, to the TV by a hardwire connection. I have done this before.

I/m not sure...I connected mine directly to my cable box or Directv box. Works great!

No. This dish is only compatible with dish network. I know there are others compatible with direct tv but I can only answer for this one.

This will work for you...I have the same setup. Just follow the instructions in the kit. It will take some time for all the DirecTV shows, movies, contents to download but after that you're ready to view all DoD stuff.

Yes you can if connected properly. We have our connected to Directv box and Directv box to tv. We record usually to the box and then when we watch the show, we record to disc.

If this unit will connect to your Comcast box, it will xmit a signal to the TV without the cable connection. This system connects with RCA type cables. I have Directv & it works great.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

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

If you have a newer model DIRECTV receiver, this device will allow you to connect it to your WiFi network. Once connected, you will be able to access many features of DIRECTV. This link takes you to the list of available features available with this device and successful connection to the internet via WIFi: http://www.directv.com/technology/connected_customer
