Do I need a "hub" or anything other than this to connect to a satellite Receiver (DirecTV) and maybe 1 other component?

These are infrared emitters. They connect, using the plug, to a device that emits remote control signals. Ideally your remote then talks to the device that emits the signals, which could be a hub or could be some other type of the device that has a "remote out" on the back. Without knowing the model of the DirecTV receiver, it's hard to say but most (if not all) DirecTV receivers don't have the capability. However, most DirecTV come with an RF (radio frequency) remote control which allows the DirecTV receiver to work in a different room. Other than that, you are probably looking at some type of smaller repeater or hub.

As long as your equipment has an ir plug and the cords are long enough to reach and connect, you should be good.

I have bought this unit, but not installed yet. I contacted Directv, and they will have an installer come to the RV site and set-up. It costs nothing, and I am bringing my receiver from home.

No component connection. Ports on the back are HDMI, LAN, and Digital Coaxial.

This "hub" will not connect to any TV without an HDMI input. It is only a hub - expanding one HDMI input to several.

Use your A/V receiver as a wireless hub. You then run cat 5 cables to other components. Good luck

No, nothing else is needed as it is a receiver in itself. Just plug into your tv and enjoy. We love it as the tv can sit right on top and integrates for a neat and organized look.

Yes you do. The room the client is installed in must have access to the DirecTV system via coax cable. Also note, you will not be able to connect this up yourself even though it's very simple. You will get a "You are not authorized to have an additional unit on this system, call Customer Service". It's a scam. They have to come out an connect it for you and charge you $49. Good luck. the unit works great though. Hope this helps.

your Setup box would need to have composite or HDMI ouput, this you just connect it to one of the inputs of the Receiver, if you still use the old type of analog cable were you receive only a coaxial connection you would need a TV or VCR or Cable turner to pass signal from coaxial to a composite output.

I have 3 components connected to my receiver - An Amazon TV, a Blu-Ray disk player and the Directv receiver - all using HDMI cables. You do need to have the receiver on, but how else would you get that beautiful sound! If your DirecTV receiver doesn't have an HDMI output, you can connect the DirecTV box to the composite video inputs on the front of the receiver and select the V-Aux input on the remote control. You may be able to connect it to one of the composite video inputs on the back, but I didn't try that. I hope that helps. TopCatOnyx

No. You do not need a cable or satellite to use this box. It can be use on its own as a media centre but if you want, you can connect a cable box to it and get your satellite channels as well.

Sort of...but you have to use the pair. Your Dish receiver will have a coaxial input (F-connector) for each input, SAT and VHF/Antenna. Simply connect the satellite coax to the SAT side and the antenna to the VHF side. At the other end, where your receiver is, connect a short cable from each to the appropriate F-connector in the back of the Dish box. Hopefully that is what you are wanting to do. Good luck!

Just plug into Satellite or cable box and also into electric outlet. The second one goes to remote TV and is plugged into an electric outlet as well. Very simple setup. My Direct TV remote works with it. I just point it toward the remote and it changes channels, etc.

Hi Patrick, You need absolutely nothing. All you need is a power/ cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle the unit you receive simply plugs into that and there is a wee light that tells you that is connected to the satellites. It is by far the most simple thing to use. i truely love this thing and i know you will too.

I think if this sat receiver dish is attached to your existing satellite receiver box you would still be able to pick up signals. It is the box with its card that de-scramble's the signal not the dish. When I used D-TV I used to take mine on the road with me. Dont think the companies care as long as you pay your bill. you might consider talking with DISH and ask about the pay as you go works well for occasional use.

You do know that this is a WiFi adapter for computers, right? There are no satellite signals involved, just an internet gateway in or near your house. If you are looking for something for Dish TV, this isn't what you want. P.S. it works fine for me, picks up more connections around the neigborhood than the WiFi built into my laptop.

If you mean without some sort of digital box from your cable provider, yes. That's how I'm using it and I'm getting a few of the HD channels without benefit of a box. I don't know if this amplifier works with satellite, but I would doubt it.

I don't know why you would need an antenna with satellite TV, but you can buy a coax adapter that has one connection on one end to connect to your TV and two connections on the other end to connect two devices (satellite and antenna).
