I don't know about Direct TV but I had no problem with Dish TV. I would recommend calling the manufacturer.

This switch should allow the same show to play on two TVs at the same time.

I have direct tv whole house system with dvr in each room....this allows me to access all dvr list from any room and can play any dvr in any room....If i hook a slingbox on one dvr will i still be able to access all my dvrs from that one box.

I suppose you can always get one that won't work, but The one I have works great. I have one for my RV and I really haven't had any problems as long as it can be setup properly at the camp site.You will of course have to register it with Directv before it will work.

I have DirectTv and it worked perfectly fine for mine. It does a great job and was better than a more expensive solution.

Hi Micheal, The answer to your question is yes, but it depends on how you have the first TV connected to the cable box. If you have the first unit or TV next to the cable box connected to any output other than the video/composite video out on the cable box it is fine because you will need to connect the Leap Frog to the video/composite video out/put of the cable box. You will be stuck with the same channels on both TV's however.

Yes. Depending on your DVR, you can record one show in HD while watching another. Different DVRs will let you record 2 HD TV shows, and let you watch a 3rd in HD. The limitations is not with the Sling box, but in how many channels you can record and watch in HD in your DVR.

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

I have a genie going to four rooms with Tivo to two more. You will need to add a switch at the point of wiring to get the Tivo unit to work also ( so that it has a separate feed to the dish). If you just plug it in where a c41-700 network box is it will not work. If you are replacing the Genie, then it will work. Network availability, just like the Genie is also required for proper functioning. Hope it helps.

mine worked fine until they installed the genie. they have been here 4 times still not working. there is a facbook page to try to get directv to fix this prob. if you have the genie it probably willn't work!

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to. I'd just put a coax splitter off my antenna feed and run it to both units. If that weakened the signal too much, you could simply get a separate antenna for the 2nd DVR.

yes, I use it with our DirectTV. It works with the regular box and the Genie box.

You can only changed channels on one tv...whatever you are watching is on both tv's...at least that is the way it works for me

My husband and I looked at the packaging and remote. It is NOT amulti-channel remote. So, we would guess that if you bought two of themthere is a chance that they may be on the same channel and you wouldn't beable to change them.

Yes you can if connected properly. We have our connected to Directv box and Directv box to tv. We record usually to the box and then when we watch the show, we record to disc.

Mine was "bent" when it arrived. It wouldn't work. If you have Direct TV you can have a second unit with no cost if you promise not to use both at the same time. No problem for me as we are either in one place or the other. You just have to move one of your units to the second location. With Direct you will need their "special" hook-up.It will not work otherwise.
