When coming to Texas for a few months, we forgot our electric cable to our DirecTV receiver box? Will this work as a replacement?

This is an AC power cord that plugs into a 120V AC wall socket. If your DirectTV receiver box has the same connector and power spec, you can use the AC power cord for the DirectTV.

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.

I gave up on mine, got tired of rebooting the unit, so Directv sent a tech out to my home and it kept dropping the signal for him too. So the tech hard-wired a small box into the system running off my router and I now have internet to every tv in the house.

This should do the job, I asked my local provider the same question, and they use a 3 shield cable. I asked if quad would work, and they told me it was over kill for the service, but it would work just fine. So it should work for direcTV.

I doubt this will work, the Dish receiver usually won't let you do anything without active service. That being said, why not just use the tuner built in to your TV? another option would be to buy a stand alone sling box.

Sorry, it's at my cabin in N.C. and probably won't be up there before Christmas. For any you are looking at, they should be able to give you the ID#, then just call Directv and they will tell you if it is programmable. and yes, I learned by getting one then finding out it was still an "active" receiver and could not be programmed.

To be honest I think you will have to try it or call the company about your location. By the way, I am happy with the product, I install in the attic of my house run coax cable to both of my TV.

It will accept the input from a cable box. Most cable providers scramble their channels now, so it most likely won't work directly. The box will be necessary to descramble the signal.

Yes, it should work. I also lost the TV2 remote in my house, but I use it for both systems if I lose the remote. Just follow the directions and it should work with your receiver.

I would think so. I Don't have DirecTV, I have Xfinity and I spit the signal from the cable box with out any problems. I have split to another tv(samsung), xbox one, ps4, macbook pro, and dvd recorder. My only suggestion is to use proper HDMI cables and not the $3 china crap.

Not sure on dish but Directv works on home receivers, i have 2 different ones hdmi and the other is rca type.

This cable should work fine for Direc-TV as it's the same cabling the installer provided and is currently carrying my DirecTV High-Def feed. Make sure to research DirecTV's support for the proper number of feeds from your dish to your box.

My TV is about a 2007-2008 model and I did not need a digital converter box. My said it was digital cable ready on the front. I hope this helps.

I used it for a customer who has DirecTV. I mounted a TV in their bathroom. The company before me only ran a cat5, so I was forced to use these. They turned out to work better then I thought. I installed them back in December and haven't heard any complaints.

Hi- I looked in the owner's manual to see if "Optimum"is listed under Cable Boxes, it's not. If I knew who the manufacturer of their box is (may be written on the box itself), I could see if codes for that manufacturer are listed, a good indicator that it would work. Let me know and I'll look. Leigh

Short answer, No. This product's design is such that it can replace your cable box. In fact, with a Cable card, which is required for it to operate properly, it can replace your cable box.
