No, you will own the receiver. DirectTV will charge you $5/month for usage on top of your monthly bill

On several occasions I have attempted to return DirecTV receivers and TiVo units. They NEVER wanted them. Only the access card.

No, mine setup only uses dish. I believe you can buy a model just for direct TV.

Chuckie - I bought this TV for my Mom. So, I'll try to answer your question(s) when I go to her home, which should be in the next couple of days. I know that there's a Game Mode, but I don't know what it does (the only thing I know about it is that I don't like the Game Mode picture when watching TV or DVD/VHS).

They should honor whatever price you purchased it for during the pre-sell. They will not charge you until the unit ships. Latest rumors put this TV live this week....but....who knows. It will be worth the wait though.

Yes, your remote will still control your TV. However, the box will be controlled by remote we have to turn the dial

Good morning. I am not certain as to what Directv policies regarding that issue. You may be able to find your answer on the Directv web site under their FAQ Q & A section.

If you have changed your DirecTV receiver to use RF communication for the remote control (instead of the default IR) then your Slingbox will _not_ be able to control your DirecTV receiver at all (therefore your receiver will need to be on _and_ on tuned to the channel you'll want to watch remotely). If your DirecTv receiver is still setup (as it was out of the box) to use IR, then the Slingbox _can_ fully control it (power on/off, change channels, etc).

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.it is not stand alone receiver,It is work only with Genie receiver .

Don't know, I purchased to work with Dish. Why would you consider Direct as it's labeled for Dish?

It does need to in direct line like the regular Roku remote. In this particular aspect the Roku remote apps on Andriod and iphone score way better. But as a physical remote, this is very good. been using for nearly a yr w/o and have additionally programed my TV to it too

Not a dedicated one. What type of device are you wanting to control? I ask because when I'm watching DirecTV, the center circle button pod acts to take me up or down one channel at a time (or through time left and right), and the CH+- button cause me to page up and down. So while not dedicated, I get an effective pgup/dn button anyway. It's a learning remote, so presumably one could program any buttons to act as a page up key as well.

Yes. You have to make sure it is set for DirectTV. The user manual has instructions on how to do that.

Yes. It is pretty easy to set up tho you may have to contact Direct TV to get the receiver activated

Thanks you two for responding. Well, I bought a DTV, so my problem is solved. I guess I'm an old timer, 51 yrs. I used to think I was handy with all this when I dubbed some VHS tapes or loaded programs into a computer, or had my own FTP space to put pictures on eBay. But OH MY GOD!!! You've got to be kidding!?? I know younger folk will have a better handle on it all, but just looking at these manuals,... who do they think they're talking to? 'Nuff said
