Can I use my Directv box to watch regular TV with the Optoma HD25e?

Hello, You can as long as your Direct TV box has the right cable as the Optoma HD25e will not accept a coaxial cable. You will have to use either HDMI, Composite, or Component (using a VGA to Component adapter).

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!!!

First off, yes you can connect your Directtv. It has an HDMI input, s-video, component, and Usb inputs. Anything that outputs with those methods will work. It DOES NOT have a built in tuner. So you would simply run an HDMI cable from your Directtv unit. That's it. It does not have audio, so you would still need to have your audio from the Directtv running to a sound bar or other audio source, which you may already have. Hopefully this helps.

It depends on if your TV is HD ready. If not, you will not receive the HD signal without the converter box.

This dish will not support HD, so that receiver will work great....same one I use. I use mine at Camp in the mountains and the dish works great, it is small and easy to set up quick. I do suggest that you look at purchasing a Satellite Finder Meter For Directv to make the set up quicker, the one I purchased was made by Satellite Finder, sold by Smartie Store on Amazon, only $8.99. You may want a tri pod or pole to mount the dish for ease as well.

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

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

I have a HD TV and was able to hook it up direct without a converter box. If its an older TV you would need a converter box.

Yes, but only on the standard definition tv channels. My antenna was preconfigured for DirecTV.

We have a Directv HD box and it works. We had to call VuQube to get the settings to put the DirecTV HD box on. We left a phone message and they got back with us in about 30 mins. We followed their instructions and bingo it worked. NO channels come in HD but you can see them.

Yes you can, this DirecTv MSPLIT2R1 Approved Zinwell 2-Way Wide... is perfect for splitting Directv (HD), I used this for my garage, workshop, and in my RV (motorcoach).

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

You would need nothing to use it as a stand alone HDTV. If you look at the photos of the inputs, you'll see an ANTENNA/CABLE input. Just screw your cable from the cable box into this input and your good to go.

Yes, you can use it with the DirecTV Genie system as the TV is a display and will show whatever is sent to it.

I do not think so , because Direct TV receiver boxes have the cable line coming to the receiver and then a HDMI cable going to the TV, this TV does not have a HDMI port to plug into from direct TV receivers. Unless you have a cable line going from your receiver box to the back of your TV then it might work.
