I use mine as a DVR expander for Dish. I'm not sure about Direct, but would assume so.

The answer is Yes, but the way to go is hard-wire it. I got rid of my CCK-W because it kept losing the signal and I would have to reset my router at least once a week. I finally gave in and called Directv and their tech came out, tried 2 other CCK-W units with no luck so he hard-wired it to my modem. I don't know how he did it but he didn't even run an extra Ethernet cable.

Yes you can do that, also there is a feature if you are trying to connect to any tv providers there is a list you can also choose from like direct tv or dish etc

If your tv is older than 10 years the answer is yes. However if you are on Satelite you can do it all thru receiver, and Satelite box

most likely not - i just view this digital conversion thing as a way to "force" people into getting cable of some kind. You will need a converter box coz there will be no more over the air analog transmissions of TV signals.

Yes, thats what the conveter box doez. Just connect the coax to the tv in on the conveter box an the tv out to your tv or use one of the other output to one of the tv input

I have a HD TV and was able to hook it up direct without a converter box. If its an older TV you would need a converter box.

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

no it is specifically for connecting multiple directv (8 lines) receivers to a Directv satellite dish

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 don't know about directv. I only have Comcast and it did not work with their cable boxes.

Yes, provided you have a wireless router in the house or access to a Wi-Fi network. When you connect this to your DirecTV receiver, it will look for available wireless networks and then you enter the security key. Really very simple to hook up and get working!

yes. just find an open analog input (red/white rca jack) on your receiver (home theater system) -- doesn't matter what the input is called (CD, BD, DVR). then switch your receiver to the same input setting name. your TV should play no part in this configuration.

yes, as long as it is installed on the output side of your directv receiver. However I would recommend a HDMI splitter (with power)if you using a HDMI cable to connect from your directv rerceiver to your TV.

Yes, it'll work fine. It's an upgrade. You won't have to aim the remote at the directv receiver (radio frequency as opposed to infrared).
