This RF link transmitter needs to be connected to the DirectTV receiver box via the RCA plugs. I have Dish Network and my receiver box had a separate set of "channel out" RCA plugs which are controlled by the remote. In my situation, the RF Link works great. If you don't have a set of RCA-type "channel out" plugs on your DirectTV receiver box, connecting this RF Link transmitter could be a problem. Per the other responses, the only limitation is that the channel you are watching via the "main" (HDMI output, etc.) from your DirectTV receiver would be the same at the RF Link is transmitting the receiver unit in another room.

I have HD cable (only on one base TV) but since it is just a rebroadcast of the base unit I don't see why it would not-it works with Tivo or a Blue ray player it just sends the signal from your base set up. This way the TV you are sending it to has all of the features of your main base TV. The down side is both TVs would have the exact same thing on. I use it to broadcast to my basement exercise area to watch Tivo recorded shows.

For what this costs it is a great solution to having multiple TV sets but not running cables or having additional boxes-its not perfect but it works and is reliable.

That is what I have it hooked up to. Depends on which Direct TV box you have the lowest model has two Component sets OUT on it and I just plugged the unused one into it (the other goes to the main TV. Whatever is on one is on the other. Works well for us because she wanted a TV in the bathroom so I put it on the one in the Bedroom. Chances pretty slim your watching something different on both of those tv's because the are close enough the sound of two shows would drive you nuts.

If the directv reciever works with a wired LAN connection then yes. It works just like a wired LAN connection. Anything that needs a wired LAN connection will work via this wireless port device. Works the same as the WGA600N.

Yes, you can use it with the DirecTV Genie system as the TV is a display and will show whatever is sent to it.

if its not out of date it will work- contact directv and they will gladly help you - as they did me before i made this great purchase -cards must be activated and prices vary

I'm sorry, I have no experience with Direct TV. However, I suspect that if hooked up correctly, it should work; I am able to tape/DVD off of Time-Warner Cable as a source so unless Direct TV has that blocked in some way, they are simply another source...... But, I am no expert...... Good Luck! -Bill

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.

Yes. I have a outside security camera and needed to plug the HDMI cable from the TV and to the converter box. I then plugged the red, white and yellow cable into the box also, because there was no extra red, white and yellow ports on the TV to support them. I don't know if it would work on DirecTV, It might Work. Hope this help.

It is compatible with Direct TV. I don't know if that is the same as Shaw Direct.

I actually do not know. I have DirecTV but I use a Harmony One universal remote and I have that programmed.

I have used it for setting up Hotbird, Eutelsat and Astra signals. It displays all the transponders within these signals. DirecTV is US based I think so I cannot say if it will work as I'm in Europe. Chances are it will as it is designed for just about any satellite signal beamed down.

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand

Yes. Should work with any DirecTV unit that has an active Ethernet port in the back.

Unequivocally no - I first purchased these to use with DirecTV for a similar reason. This booster does not help with DirecTV and actually causes more problems.
