I have Directv with a HR44/700 Genie & TWC for internet and I'm lost on how to set this up. Has anyone had any luck in getting this setup to work?

It works for Direct TV for sure. Reach out to Actiontec they have great tech support

You either must have WiFi through a BluRay player, game console or ethernet (run the cable to your phone jack, like your modem is hooked up). I have Directv Genie which has built in internet-with this you have to have WiFi. Hope this helps.

Yes. I am also wiring for Directv. They require RG6, which this is. Have fun!

Mine was very simple (with DirecTV. Just plugged into the receiver and set it up generally facing South and starting around 40%azimuth (there is a graph in the manual that gives you an idea what it should be depending on where your located.. Then you can manually adjust it with the remote to get the strongest signal using the signal strength finder on the receiver menu. Good luck. I use mine camping and and tailgating. Very happy with it.

The 2Wire *won't* work; apparently it only works in areas that have TV service. I do not know about the others.My advice (which I finally followed a week ago) is to dump your provider for another service. Cable internet is cheaper and faster where I am, and their tech support can't possibly be slower or more hobbled.(EDIT: If you are (or know someone who is) highly computer literate, search the net for "nvg510 solving common problems". You'll find a page describing a method of forcibly fixing some of the software problems with this device. )

If a receiver hasn't previously been activated on an account, and your account is in good standing it should be able to be activated on your account as long as you don't already have a genie. Directv will only allow one genie per account. Also, you need to have a swm system with no more than 3 tuners already on it. Otherwise, you will need a swm 16 switch. I suggest calling Directv before purchasing to make sure you have what you need to activate this receiver.

Sorry Big dog, all I have is Direct tv. but there are dip switched on the inside of the dome that will configure to your service. Just double check with Winegard info. thanks

Yes, we pretty much use them for Genie situations as this is what the customer is now getting..... Make sure you are using a "band stop filter" so that way the DVR content is NOT seen by the other person on the SWM 16 switch if they have a Genie or other Directv DVR...

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

NO. Let me say again... NO. I have a DirecTV DVR in the next room. Although it is seen by my E4200 and the DVR I can NOT get an internet connection. Basically it says it is connected but can't find the internet. CISCO is of no help.

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.

This will work for you...I have the same setup. Just follow the instructions in the kit. It will take some time for all the DirecTV shows, movies, contents to download but after that you're ready to view all DoD stuff.

No. I have three of these. I bought my last one two months ago. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. I have to keep pressing the buttons hard to get it to work. All the money I spent on these cheap ones, I could have used to buy one from Directv.

I connect a standard def Directv box to it and have no issues. Works great.

It doesn't seem to me that you do, but I can't say for sure. I never looked at the manual, but I also read the discussions about receiver features at the dbstalk web site. There is a review of the HR20-700 here: dbstalk.com topic 56780-hr20-700-the-review. I haven't used the HR20-700 in some years -- I now have a more up-to-date model, HR24-500. More recent still are the "Genie" models. I have also never owned a DirecTV DVR, only used one from DirecTV as part of my subscription to the service.

Unfortunately, you can't.... I even called DirecTV to find out if I could program their remote to handle this sound bar and they told me "No". Thus, I ended up buying a Universal WR7 remote which I programmed to handle my DirecTV DVR, HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and the sound bar as well. The WR7 is currently working great for me in this capacity. Hope this helps!!!
