Samsung UN40ES6100 w/Directv? Can I use this Samsung Smart TV w/Directv?

Also a recent firmware update has added RVU client capability to the TV. This means the TV can connect to a DirecTV HR34 Home Media Center in another room without the need for another DirecTV receiver.

If you use a properly equiped bluray player. This TV is not a smart tv. It is a nice one after two years no problems. :-)

Yes it will work with a Samsung Smart TV. In fact I have Samsung Smart TV and it works perfectly. You use the same unifying USB transmitter that you would use on the computer. Just plug it into the USB port on the TV and it recognizes the USB transmitter automatically.

It works perfectly with Dish Hopper, which has an IR input... can't speak for DirecTV, but if it has IR, it should.

I'm sorry, I don't have DirectTV either. It works great off cable and DVDs.

Yes, absolutely. I didn't have any problems streaming videos from Amazon. For that matter, I haven't had any problems with the Samsung Smartv at all. In particular I like being able to look something up on the Internet while I'm watching TV. I had to get a Samsung wireless keyboard for that but it works flawlessly.

Short answer "Yes"; I don't know anything about DirectTV but if there is an Optical Out on the Direct TV box then you can use the Optical In on the unit. I've got an Optical Out on my TV and I have that connected to the unit's Optical IN and it works great. The remote has a button to switch from "TV" sound to the "Speakers" and it works great; it's using the input from the Optical cable.

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

No problem, let me know if you have any more questions. I've had this TV for about a year now and I love it. The SMART TV (internet) features are pretty shabby but that's not why I bought it so for me it works great!

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.

In all likelihood your set is fine. Your DirecTV tech however needs a refresher course. Your satellite box is putting out a 4:3 ratio picture (that's four units wide for every three units high) while your TV is displaying a 16:9 picture, resulting in the black bars on either side. I don't have this particular Vizio, but my Samsung has a setting to enlarge (without distorting) the picture where the image will then fill the screen. You lose a bit of the top and bottom of the picture, but it will fill the screen without distortion. Your Vizio may, or may not, have a similar setting. There may be a setting on your DirecTV box to change the output to 16:9, but I doubt it. I suspect you'll have to wait until you get the hi-def box. There's almost certainly nothing wrong with the TV however. By the way, if you have an old pair of rabbit ears (or an existing antenna) and you live remotely near a television transmitter, you might want to try connecting the rabbit ears/antenna to the TV and scan to see which channels you can get. Very often the absolute best picture quality comes from an antenna.

Don't know if it would actually upgrade your non-smart TV, but the device does have it own firmware memory capabilities. Set back it is very slow in its functions and needs a very strong WiFi system as well.

It will allow you to get digital content through the DirecTV offerings, which I believe includes some "Smart TV" programming, but I am not sure because we actually have a "Smart TV" already and use its features over the DirecTV alternatives. This unit allows us to view Cinema on Demand titles and alternative digital network programming (e.g. previous series' episodes) on the DirecTV channels that support it.
