I have spent hours trying to get this to work on direct tv. Even hooked it up to an aligned dish.. Has anyone got it to work on direct tv??

I have not been able to use the meter either. I can get signals on the meter with an aligned dish but as yet have not been successful aligning a dish,

I have never gotten to work with anything. No instructions, difficult to use piece of junk.

I have mine set to Directv so no HD and not available for direct just Dish hd.

It works perfectly with Dish Hopper, which has an IR input... can't speak for DirecTV, but if it has IR, it should.

My sister has it hooked up with her cable and it works great. I have Dish network and cannot get it to operate with any of my sets. I can get it to operate the TV's but not control their box, which is of no use to me.

I have Dish and have never seen anything like that. Are you sure you have your settings right?

I haven't tested it yet, but it says Direct TV on it, I have Dish, so I called and asked, Dish says DirectTV makes it for Winegard, but it will still work with Dish. I don't know if that answers your question, but I am 99% sure it will work perfectly for the company that made it, and it is supposed to be HD as far as I know

I have not. Only windows 7 64bit. Since my tv provider updated to digital I have not been able to get any channels using this device (as of 11 months ago) and it has been put in a box and forgotten

Yes, it works on both direct & Dish. Direct tv is not high def, Dish tv is high def compatible. I was able to use it all the way around the US. I just got back to Oregon. It will pick up the eastern satellites up in Newhampsure also.

This TV is "not supported" by the Directv 3D channels. Sometimes it works and sometimes there is an error message. It all just depends on how Directv is broadcasting the signal.

I have DirectTv and it worked perfectly fine for mine. It does a great job and was better than a more expensive solution.

Not much luck. I think I can get it to PIP w/Antenna over the air, but only when in analog mode. I can't watch digital TV w/any other sources. What I really want to do is split screen my Wii and my Direct TV, but no luck on that front.Seems so simple...

I haven't....but I can tell you it is an outstanding TV - the picture and sound are unbelievable .... and I don't even have HD from Dish Satellite! I had a Samsung before this one....same size....and it was awful in comparison. Tinny audio and very pixilated screen. Sorry....I guess I didn't answer your question about being a TV monitor!

Most all the incidences I have read about pertain to the Dish remote. I have Directv HD and no problems. The TV is AWESOME.

I bought one to use with DishTV. It was not compatible, even though I was told it would work. It is well constructed, but I would not buy it again because it won't work with the newer systems.

Hi Barbara.. the thing looks great, but I bought it for my mother who is in a long term care facility. I followed the programming instructions carefully, but was not able to get it to work on here TV. If I were to give it a shot.. I would keep all the paper work and packing so that if it does not work, one could return it. Looks pretty good if I could have only gotten it to work.

Living in Utah it is a battle every year to keep snow off the dish. This is money well spent- have not had to deal with the problem. I do have Directv. I told a friend that has directv to order one and it did not fit her dish. I think I got lucky but measure your dish.

It's been a couple of years since I programed my Direct TV remote to operate my 60" Sharps TV so I can only say I was able to get it to work with the numbers provided. Try calling Direct TV's help line they always spend what ever time it takes to help solve problems.
