This Netgear Neo TV unit should be compatible with any TV with an HDMI input. It doesn't have component or composite connection capability. You should be able to use it with a TV connected to Directv as well as long as your TV has more than one HDMI input or at least one HDMI input and/or component or composite inputs as long as your Directv is connected to either of the latter. You shouldn't be able to use the same HDMI input for both Directv and the Netgear unit unless you unplug the one to use the other or otherwise have some kind of switching box. When you select your TV HDMI input with the Netgear unit, you should be able to get Netflix as well as some other internet streaming options (but not Amazon).

You need at least TWO interface on Zennith TV. One is connected to Directtv, other to this box. If you have TWO video interface, you'll be all good. This NeoTV N300SL has both HDMI and analog TV interface support.

Gary, If I were you I would pay a little more and purchase a smart Samsung blue ray player! I purchased the Neo Netgear and it never worked properly!! Now i am trying to return because it's supposed to have a 1 year warranty and there's always an issue!! Never buying Netgear again�

I see good answers already. I would add that we still do not see TED on the NEO box, it is on the menu but never connects. Since that is the reason we bought the Neo, we have switched to Roku which does retrieve the TED talks.

yep, this is huge deal with me too - and I've refused to subscribe to Netflix because of it. So, it's pointless to me to get a Roku box for now (although I could use it with Pandora but oh well, I can use my computer for that too.). Here's a link that discusses the issues, from Netflix's POV: http://www.deaftechnews.com/2011/01/25/netflixs-streaming-service-and-closed-captions/

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.

This is a common problem with the Samsung TV's, there are posts all over the internet about it. Fixes range from resetting the Smart Hub software to resetting the TV to factory defaults to having the mainboard in the TV replaced. I tried everything I could find (except having the mainboard replaced) and none of them worked. After hours of trying to figure out why HBOgo would work and not Netflix, I tried placing my TV's IP address in the DMZ of my router. Much to my surprise, this worked. I didn't want to leave it there, so I looked for updates to my router firmware. After updating the router firmware, I was able to take the TV out of the DMZ and Netflix continued to function. Apparently the Samsung Netflix app uses some sort of network traffic the old firmware didn't support. Before updating the router, Netflix streamed fine to my PC, Boxee Box and DVD player, but not to the TV...so I know it has to be an issue with the newer app... The Netflix setup is my only complaint about this TV, with how long Netflix has been around, you wouldn't think this would be an issue anymore.

This box doesn't solve your problem. You need a HD-DVR in conjunction with this box to enjoy all the functionality of DirecTV, particularly OnDemand. Sorry...

There are significant differences in the functionality of the internet apps available on various brands of TVs and BluRay players even within the same BRANDS. I have a Panasonic DMP-85K BluRay and a Panasonic VIERA TC-P42G25 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. Vieracast for Netflix functions very differently between the two units. I have a very versatile search function within Netflix on the plasma but absolutely none on the BluRay and they both come from the Vieracast server! I am limited to viewing the movies added to the instant queue via a PC (or the plasma) on the BluRay. Additionally, Foxsports and Twitter is functional on the plasma but not the Bluray. VuDu is functinal on the BluRay but not the plasma - go figure. Would give my eye teeth for HuLU but it's not mentioned on either device. I assume it's a combo of licensing and hardware restrictions but I really don't know that for sure. Searching for Netflix video on a PC is not really all that bad condsidering the option of trying to punch in the data via tri-tap or onscreen keyboards using the devices. Gotta love VierraLink though if all your equipment is compatible. BTW, the Panny WiFi adapter is dual mode and works flawlessly. The only other one that I know of that is compatible is the Netgear WNDA3100version2 for about the same price. Not a valid gripe that it isn't "built in" because the USB cable allows for multiple positioning. Also, after much research, dollars spent. and time wasted, I think it is worthwhile to get a dual band router (Netgear WNDR37AV) and devote the 5Mz to the dumb BluRays and Tvs and devote the 2.4 band to data. You will be happy you did. This router allows you to set up QOS by MAC and it makes a huge difference even with a "so-so" broadband connecton of 5Mb down. I can stream 2 HD movies at the same time without loss of quality (and check out whats up on Facebook)

Unfortunately I've never had satellite TV service so I'm unfamiliar with the hook-ups. I can tell you that the TV has both a standard co-ax and an HDMI input. We have regular cable so I have the co-ax hooked up, and I often hook our Roku device to the HDMI and binge-watch Netflix while using the treadmill. It's awesome!

I just got a PS3 and the streaming Netflix feature is only by way of inserting a Disc provided from Netflix which uses BD live to stream the content (from what I've read). It may be specific to the PS3, but it would be worth it to pop that disc into the Sony S560 and see if it can do it the same way. This disc is free from Netflix to customers by requesting one at www.netflix.com/PS3Someone try it out and post back here. If it works, I would consider getting this unit for the bedroom.

I bought this box last month, but when running XBMC LiveTV video and audio are not paired. The audio is ahead from the picture. When I Run Movies From stream channels it works awesome. I have 24 mbps internet speed, Does any one knows why it does that?

We have a Directv HD box and it works. We had to call VuQube to get the settings to put the DirecTV HD box on. We left a phone message and they got back with us in about 30 mins. We followed their instructions and bingo it worked. NO channels come in HD but you can see them.

I'm doing a trial of Prime, and I'm afraid if the streaming won't work, there's little point in actually signing up - Netflix will have to do for now. I think Prime has some great content, but I'm not keen on camping in front of my PC to watch the movies - much rather be able to watch over the game console on the actual TV. Too bad - it's a great price, even compared to Netflix, but steep for the limited capabilities.

Their HD model streams at a max of 720p, while their more expensive models go up to 1080*. That asterix denotes that the detail is pursuant to what carriers offer. Example; Netflix only streams in 720p.Give a look at what the options are. If you want other components like a usb pnp, than upgrade, however the base model will support your tv. No need to get one that supports 1080 when you have 720p. Save your money and buy me a beer for good advice.

Just a note that MKV is no longer supported. You should get a WD TV Live or use Plex Media Server. I think WD TV Live is much better this generation. Last generation, the support wasn't much more than a really outdated Netflix client. It now supports Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, CinemaNow, Blockbuster, Spotify, FaceBook, Pandora and more. Sure you lose Amazon, but CinemaNow and Blockbuster are good compensation along with the fact that it will basically play all of your videos files.

Works fine from PS3. My guess would be that Netflix is a competitor to the Vudu provider who does most of the internet connectivity "channels" on this set, hence the exclusion. This actually works fine for me so far, since I have yet to get the audio return channel working from any of the internet "channels".

Honestly...this product is not going to do anything for your TV. You need something like the "Mini MK802 Android 4.0 Google TV Box HD IPTV Player PC Allwinner A10 1G DDR3" if your goal is to make your TV a "smart" TV. I have not bought one, but it is on my to buy list as my TV has a USB port, but does not have an ethernet port. This will allow me to get the Android Netflix app etc. Amazon won't let me include a link but you can buy that device here at Amazon.com

dma media extender will not currently work with netflix. With the vcmnetflix plugin i cant get video but no audio, this is due to a recent change with netflix using silverlight plugin. I would us the roku, but i hear they have some current problem too
