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.

If your cable box only has a COAX cable connection to the TV then you can't connect it to the Sony. Its input for Cable or satellite is HDMI only.

This modem is for Internet services and telephone service, it does not connect to your TV at all. You would need to put a splitter before the modem, with one side going to your TV and the other feeding the modem. Hope this helps.

Man! This is an old thread. You could buy one of the Roku devices and stream audio/video. They're rather inexpensive and highly reviewed. Hookup either wireless or through ethernet cable. Then connect via HDMI input on the Sony and you should be good to go. And yeah, to cruise the internet you'd have to go through your computer.I no longer use this set in my main room but my son still loves it.

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

You can have a direct connection to an internet source using an internet cable. As for the Xbox your better off hooking it up to the tv via hdmi and then the tv to the surround via hdmi. That's how I have mine. Don't forget to change the input to ARC which the hdmi input. Let me know if this helps :)

No. You need to have the TV in your vacation home connected to a PC that is connected to the internet using at least DSL speeds (ie, not dialup). The TV will be the video display for the PC or a laptop, but note that the PC and the TV must have the same kind of connector, like HDMI or VGA with an audio cable. An internet-ready TV will allow you to connect to Netflix, Pandora, and a few other services, but not Slingboxes.

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.

What kind of TV do you have? what type of cable do you have hooked from directv box to tv. Answer these questions and I can probably help you.

Yes, you should be able to do this, although I am not sure you've got the correct order of connection, it should be, DSL Modem &gt; Router&gt; switch &gt; Devices... I have my PS3,AppleTV,Yamaha Receiver, and DirecTv connected to this switch, and the switch itself to my router and my router connected to my ISP Modem. it provides a much better and stable connection for improved streaming.

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.

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.

yes... you have to let Direct TV know before it will work.. I tried hooking it up before calling and it did not work

Some HD boxes come with an Ethernet port that allows wired connection. This box works with most Direct TV types for witeless and injects the signal kn the box through the coax from the satellite. it also has an ethernet port output. Check with Direct TV to be sure it works with the type of DVR you need for your configuration.

Yes as long as you have the correct connecting cables and a DTV or Cable box.
