How does this TV perform (namely the remote) with a service such as DirecTV?

It works fine. The only thing I haven't learned to do ids skip commercials on recorded shows.

I cannot answer this question as my connection is by cable service not DirecTV. I have a 75 inch set and the remote serves all of my needs very well to this point but don't know how it would work with satellite.

The remote is great. It does burn through batteries. I don't have Direct TV.

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.

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.

Sorry, it's at my cabin in N.C. and probably won't be up there before Christmas. For any you are looking at, they should be able to give you the ID#, then just call Directv and they will tell you if it is programmable. and yes, I learned by getting one then finding out it was still an "active" receiver and could not be programmed.

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

Yes it will operate as a normal tv with the remote, you can operate the internet with your remote (it would be a slow method) or attach a wireless mouse and keyboard with a USB connection. The internet would either need a wireless USB LAN ( for wifi) or an Ethernet connection

Not sure about the direct tv remote. However I have the "Watchon" app downloaded on my Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and it controls multiple TVs, DVRs and AVRs in multiple rooms.

I have had zero issues with the remote, however I do not use as frequently as most might since I use my cable remote more.

We have Directv and have no problems I would check with your cable provider.

I have direct tv. I wouldn't use the remote to change the channel. I have my direct tv in my HDMI 1 and my GS7 in my HDMI2 port. So if I want to watch my Netflix, amazon, or M-Go I just hit the input button and switch my tv to HDMI2

I have no issues with the remote. I find the entire unit to be functional, including remote. It is a greatvalue.

I don't know for Direct TV. I have u-verse and all the functions work well. I also use Apple TV and again, all functions are good. After using Harmony for over 6 months I am absolutely delighted with its performance.

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.

just make sure you buy an HDMI cable. the expense for that is all up to you. they range in price from moderate to high end based on what you decide. i have direct TV as well. i like the TV. have no complaints. a good buy. this was a very easy hook up however you will need to make sure that Direct TV has provided you with the correct satellite box for an HD Television or it will not work. they are very good about doing so

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

I don't have direct TV but I would assume that they would have to program the remote for you. I have AT&T U-verse and haven't had any problems
