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.

Is your tv HD? With out this converter you are not able to receive all HD Channels from directv check the back of your cable box if you have one then you do need it

Any HDTV with a HDMI port can be used with a DirecTV HD Receiver, so yes. This particular model has 3 HDMI ports, cheaper Samsungs only have two; a major downgrade from last year's model (most had 4).

I am looking to buy this receiver and wanted to know the same thing. Did you ever get an answer?

HD/DVR works great in my 5th wheel. I had trouble finding a satellite, I stopped a Direct TV truck and paid the 20 bucks to tune it in for me. unfortunately I still need a SWM switch to record more than one show at a time. most receiver's will need to use the B band switch included with the system. Makes no sense to me to have an HD TV and not use HD service.

You are welcome. I switched to HD last year. DirecTV did the installation for free after I paid for the service and receiver. One warning though. The DirecTV brand HD receiver is very slow. Spend the extra money and get the Tivo brand HD receiver.

Quick answer is I do not know. the manual does not tell us about which HDMI spec is supported by the unit. However 1.3 that supports 3D was introduced in 2006, and these receivers were designed in 2008, so they should (most likely) support 3D. But 3d is going bye bye anyway, so it might be a moot point. Good luck, the unit I have has been reliable and a good sounding unit.

I am not familiar with that receiver, depends on the type service you subscribe to. HD service requires a high def satellite Dish which is also available from Amazon. This particular kit is for regular Dish network programing and has worked well with my 311 receiver that I purchased from Dish. Dish also has a R.V. team that will help you.

What I was told from directv is to get reciever ID first before purchase and check reciever Id with directv. They will tell you if that recieve can be activated.

Excellent points, both of you. I can totally wait it out until more releases even HAVE the HD etc. audio, at which point the receiver prices will be even lower.

You need a 30" satellite Antenna for FTA and it will get HD channels. This is currently unavailable and we do not have an ETA for new inventory.
