For a Wireless Connection

Create a wireless connection between your wireless router and your

DIRECTV HD DVR. As with a wired Internet connection, you’ll have access

to thousands of free and premium On Demand titles, TV Apps, Pandora and

other features and content available only with an Internet connection.

For HR44 HD DVR & Later Receiver Models

The DIRECTV

Genie

™

HR44 HD DVR has a built-in wireless transceiver,

which will pair with your existing wireless router to connect to your home

broadband WiFi service. It eliminates the need for the external DIRECTV

CINEMA

Connection Kit (CCK). However, if you do have a CCK already

conﬁgured from a previous DIRECTV Receiver, the Genie HR44 will

automatically detect your network settings and connect to the Internet.

In addition to the Network Requirements outlined earlier in this Appendix,

you will need a wireless router set up and initialized for your home Internet

service before you start the Internet connection sequence for your Genie

HR44 HD DVR.

Get connected with the following steps:

Step 1 - Be sure that your TV and DIRECTV Genie HR44 Receiver are on.

Step 2 - Using the DIRECTV Genie Remote that came with your HR44

Receiver, or the Universal Remote, press MENU.

Step 3 - Select Settings & Help, then Settings, then Network Setup.
