Does this work with Directv? My directv reception isn't as strong as it used to be, does someone know if this also works with directv?

Check your dish's signal strength - a booster isn't going to solve your problem IMHO. I have DirecTV, so speaking from experience. Perhaps your dish isn't aligned properly (it happens) or something is blocking the signal or the cable ends from the dish to the multiswitch are loose. I have runs to multiple TV's, one of which is over 50' - no signal loss at all. Also check the connections from the channel box to your TV, if this comes loose, you can get a weaker signal. Hope this helps.

I have Dish and it works with it. I shouldn't conjecture about Direct. It also works with Over the Air for me.

Were you able to get the directtv remote to work? I have direct tv and was considering using

It works with my DirectTV Satellite Receiver. I cannot get high definition but thats because of the antenna not the control center. One of these days I will upgrade my satellite dish to high def.

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!

My only guess is that you need to change some setting ... probably on the TV. The signal is digital. Make sure your TV is set to handle that. Other than that, it could be that the signals just aren't reaching the antenna. I get only 6 and most of those are flakey ... signal loss, jerky picture, etc. The antenna is also very sensitive to direction. Hope this helps a little.

I use it to go RCA to COAX. Directv client can deliver out via RCA and I have coax throughout my house, so I run that signal to two other televisions via the coax. I don't know why it wouldn't go the other way around as indicated in the above post. I thought it was directionally unbiased, but I guess not.

YES!!!(but i cant get it to turn on or off our DIRECTV box) i was able to program the tv fine and it turns on and off the tv but i programmed ALL the code twice and after that i was getting annoyed that the box wouldnt turn on or off,so i tried the next step to program the channels and IT WORKED! (one of the code i entered worked, i dont know which one!?) I hope that helps!

Yes, it works on both direct & Dish. Direct tv is not high def, Dish tv is high def compatible. I was able to use it all the way around the US. I just got back to Oregon. It will pick up the eastern satellites up in Newhampsure also.

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

I have directv with this one. Depends on the receiver you get from dish. If you get an had dish and have an he tv then you should

These clients don't have the traditional activation cards that Directv receivers use. The cliient is easy to connect to your system. You'll choose "add client" from the receiver menu and follow on screen instructions. In my case, I was prompted to call Directv to activate the client. 10 minute phone call, and all worked flawlessly.

How were you able to determine that it was a faulty tuner and not user error? I am going through the same situation, although it is over the air and not cable. I was told that I could plug in a standard antenna and receive digital as well as HD channels due to the HD tuner. Please educate me in this matter as I am not versed in this matter.

Well, will it work down there? Probably. Will Directv allow it? Not if they know about it. I made the mistake of just mentioning that I might retire to Mexico and asked if their system worked down there. They put a permanent note in my file about it and even some 15 years later when I had to call them about something else, they asked when I was moving to Mexico so they could cut off my service.If your billing address changes to somewhere other than the USA, I'm sure it will be noticed.

Everything you need to receive Standard DirecTV at your RV.-The hardest part is "pointing" your disk to the south for reception. Takes a while to get use to how to do that. Look up the coordinates of your campground for DirecTV signal. They are on the internet. Then point to those coordinates then tweak until you get the reception you want.-This dish is for standard DirecTV reception and NOT (HD) High Definition Cable. Works regardless but you will not be able to get HD channels. Those dishes are considerably higher and hard to find.-You will still get hundreds of standard channels based on your package you bought with the service.-Excellent product once setup.

DirecTV requires the b band converter to receive the Ka satellite signals. These relatively new satellites allow reception of many more channels. For a technical description of how it works try Google!

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.
