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.

Hi Nancy, you need a micro hdmi not a mini hdmi. This should be what you're looking for:

No. When you get it, You have to call Direct TV and give them the numbers on the sticker on the bottom or the device and they will activate it and walk you through connecting it to your system.

There is a way. First, familiarize yourself with the remote. Notice the 4 triangle buttons, up, down, right, and left, with the center button (I'll call "Enter" or Select). Second, turn the TV on. Third, press the "Menu" button, then press the down button to highlight "Sound". Fourth, press the right button then the down button to highlight "Speaker Settings". Press Enter to select, then Enter once more. You should see "TV Speaker" with a check by it. Simply press the down button to select "Audio Out". Make sure that you have connected the external speakers to the corresponding Audio Out connectors in back of the TV unit. That should do it. Sound should be coming out of the external speakers. Hope this helps in some small way. There is a way. First, familiarize yourself with the remote.

The Optical out from the TV needs to connect into a splitter with an optical in . From that point on just connect each line out from the splitter into each box.Let me know what it sounds like? You will need 3 optical connections plus an optical splitter (1 in and 2 out)

A major cable to connect the device to the DirectTv Box is not there. The cables are different than what can connect to the back of the 50" TV

Yes it is meant to work with the mini. I think you can use any Directv dish, but better with an HD receiver. Hope this helped. But Directv will only let you use one Genie in each household. I needed two because we have Directv in our 5th-wheel and after buying a secound one on Amazon I found out I couldn't use it.

Here is an easy way to find out. Use the cable output connection on your box and run a short piece of TV cable from the box to the cable input connection on the back of your analog set. If you get a picture this way, you will get a picture with the transmitter set up. If your cable box has the old cable output connection, you should be able to find out quickly. You will need the audio video RCA connectors on both units (red, white, yellow) to actually make it work.

Install the amplifier box at the antenna pole, connect the antenna to the input of the box, connect one end of the 25ft cable to the output port of the box and the other end to the power supply unit of what you purchased. The other connector in the power supply unit should connect to your TV. Now plug the power cord of the power supply unit into the wall outlet to finish the setup.

I'm thinking you only have 2 options rca outputs to 3.5 mini or 3.5 mini direct plug in if your tv has one.

It has been a while since I had Directv, however l understand it uses HDMI output. If the set top box has optical audio out, simply connect to the optical in on the 5500. The 5500 has no "digital" input. If the set top has no optical out, you will need a Samsung TV with "Anynet" connectivity. From that an HDMI cable will run to the 5500, where audio and video will run both directions. Good luck.

you get them through your directv box. Go to menu on new remote and program remote. Its pretty self explanatory after that. Follow the directions.
