Any tips to get this to work with Direct TV? I can get it to work behind cabinet doors with every component but that. - thanks.

I have my receiver module nearly in front of my DirecTV receiver on the left hand side as you are looking at the front. It works fine from inside my shop which is next door to the house.

I'm not certain that I can be very helpful except to say that I only use it to control a Direct TV DVR that is located in another room (below me). I have the unit located about 3 feet in front of the DVR receiver and it works pretty well.

We absolutely love ours. Every disc we bought has worked. You have to make sure it is the CD+G type. Try different Input options on your tv. If you have done all of this, then its most likely bad.

I use it with my DirecTV DVR and it works fine. It's a little complicated (for me) to install and remove, but once done, it works well on my Directv dvr. Hope this helps.

It's been a couple of years since I programed my Direct TV remote to operate my 60" Sharps TV so I can only say I was able to get it to work with the numbers provided. Try calling Direct TV's help line they always spend what ever time it takes to help solve problems.

Ronald, Here is an idea. Use an older DVD player that has a coaxial connector input on the back and a RCA or RGB output. I also broke the RG6 Coaxial Cable connector on the back of my TV. I was able to watch my TV through the DVD player. It is a quick fix, but at least your TV will still work.

Hi , I'm William ,I purchased this set a couple of months ago and at first I wasn't happy with it but I hooked it up to local cable and it gets all of the channels and I put it under my top kitchen cabinet and now I love it . Still trying to get it to play with the external antenna.

Hey all - hate to break this to ya, but I just tried it out on my 3d setup, and this receiver doesn't seem to pass through at all - I've tried it with DirecTV 3d channels, and with my PS3, and if I connect directly to the TV HDMI, it works just fine, but going through the receiver, as soon as I try and view 3d content, there is no dice. Kind of annoyed here, since I bought this receiver about 1.5 years ago, and it looks like now I'll either have to go through the painful process of hooking up 3d devices directly to the TV, or buy a new 3d capable receiver - poop! :( Well - good luck - hope you folks have better luck than I did :(

yes... you have to let Direct TV know before it will work.. I tried hooking it up before calling and it did not work

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

The problem with any wall mounted tv is "how do you hide the cables". The cables need to be routed from behind the TV, through the wall, and down to an exiting point below the tv as close to the floor as possible. The HDMI cable and the tv power cable need to be routed this way, unless the wall was previously prepared with a 115 VAC power receptacle at the mounting point of the tv. I assume that the cable for the direct tv box is already at floor level. In my case, I put a small table below the tv and mounted the box on it. I ran the HDMI cable and an extension cord (for tv power) through the wall from the floor up to the hole behind the tv. Fishing cables through the walls is not that difficult, but you may want to get an electrician or home theater expert to help you. Hope this helps some.

I have one I bought from Amazon, but I have not been able to function. I have hired technicians Directv. Nor. The archive, return it because it costs more money to buy another of a different brand

Thank you for your response -- I am still trying to figure out why my remote wouldn't work. I sent the TV back to Amazon.com since we couldn't get the remote to work. Where did you have your Uverse receiver located? I had mine on a shelf directly under the TV -- don't know if that makes a difference or not? This is very mysterious as no one else seems to have had this problem.

I found YouTube to be helpful when I set up mine. I don't have Direct TV but I found help for my TV remote.

The Kymera Magic Wand absolutely does work with our Direct TV. It should work with any components that are programmable. I will say it takes a bit of planning to program the wand; then a little practice ... but once programmed it is soooooo much fun!!!!

Don't know what your particular use of the light kit will be, but I used them on my kitchen cabinets. Was able to use the outlet behind the refrigerator for one set; dishwasher outlet under the sink for another and had an outlet installed in the wall when the house was built which ended up inside the end cabinet for the 3rd string. Don't think wiring direct is a good option. What plugs in the wall is the transformer to step down the voltage. It's about 3 inches long and 1 inch square. From there a 4' (approx.)cord plugs into another little white box that powers the light strip and controls the remote sensor which has to peek out somewhere to receive the signal from the remote. They're not that noticable. Hiding all this by taping to the back of the fridge for one and to the inside walls of the cabinets, keeping out of the way of sliding drawers, etc. It might be best to just install an outlet inside a cabinet. I'm very pleased with my results. The remote works great and you can control the brightness of the lights. One other thing....when installing the light strip itself, some times the sticky backside doesn't stick so well. For those problem areas, I put a thin bead of super glue on it and taped it up with a narrow (1/4") strip of gorilla tape. No more problem. Sorry this answer is so long, but I hope it helps. Have a great day!

I only use my Direct TV remote. As the other's have listed those are all top of the line remotes from research and from other's I know that have them. Good Luck!
