Your cart is empty.Your H25 or C31 receiver becomes even more useful with this optional adapter. Connect your H25, C31, C41 or C41 Wireless to any TV or device with a component input. Simply plug one end into the H25 or client and the other end into a TV.

I could not get this product to pass video to my Magnavox DVD player/burner from the new Genie AV/Out port. There are no real instructions to the cable, but I am still investigating the Magnavox manual, since the Magnavox DVD burner worked on the previous older DirecTV HR24-700 receiver until it the receiver had a storage error, forcing the receiver swap by DirecTV..

If you need component video output from your crappy little DirecTV Genie box, this magnificent cable will save the day. Good for full 1080 HD. The cable is a bit on the short side, but the gauge is excellent and the results are as good as you can possibly get from component. I use mine for Slingbox, but these are more geared for analog-only high definition display devices, such as CRT projectors, HD CRT televisions, and HD CRT rear projection televisions/monitors. They can also even be useful on a digital set if you're all out of working HDMI inputs, or if HDCP is not supported.

I'm not sure why the issues with this, but for me it worked perfectly on my 350 and 500. The only issue for me was getting past the setup screen on the 500. It would not move to the point where I could set up the box since of course you need to reset it for the Gene Mini. And why this is annoying is because the app on the tablet and phone won't let you change this. You HAVE to do this on a computer through the web client. Boo...Other than that, someone should tell the the DirectTV that there is indeed a way to have do this since I was told that my Slingboxes were not going to work with the new Mini and I had to wait until they rolled out whatever is replacing the GenieGo nonsense.

I upgraded my HD-DVR receivers to the Genie system and lo and behold, only the Genie DVR have component output. I use the component output for my slingbox but the location where it's located with ethernet connection have a Genie C41W Wireless mini genie. The DTV installer gave me a RCA dongle which everybody knows won't do HD and he is not aware that anything else is available. I did a search and found this Component dongle. Ordered it and received it in 2 days but when I opened the package, found out the hard way that the component connections are male and the slingbox connections are also male. (The picture on the product at the time was in a plastic bag and the connectors are not visible). I ordered a 5 pack RCA Female to Female Coupler Jack Adapter to make the connections and my slingbox is back in action.

These cables work great. Needed to go to RGB when the satellite company activated HDCP on all channels. This shuts off the video on the HDMI link unless its connected directly to a TV. In our case we still needed HDMI so using these RGB cables to feed a RGB to HDMI converter worked great. We had bought 9 of these.The only issue we found was connector does not have the best mechanical connection and with the heavy cable, strain relief needs to be used so the video is not lost. Long and short i would buy these again.

I used this to be able to hook a chromecast and DirecTV receiver to a TV with only one HDMI port. Now the chromecast is in the HDMI and the DirecTV is using the component input. Works perfectly. I read an earlier review that this only lets the DirecTV Genie display in 1080i which is true, but that is because only certain DirecTV channels broadcast in 1080p. According to the DirecTV website, thats only the Cinema channels, and since I don't watch those I cannot tell you whether this supports 1080p or not. It is known that component cables do not officially support 1080p, but there are plenty of cables that will still display 1080p content even though they don't support it but again, I can't confirm that.Since I am using this on a 24 inch television, I do not see any noticeable difference between an HDMI cable and this cable as far as picture quality is concerned, but your mileage may vary.

Just got this little gem and it connects the DirectTV Genie C31 mini-client to the Hauppauge HD PVR1200's component to USB system, for direct input of HD video, with audio, into your computer's USB port. Since HDCP handshaking is not used on component output, this is perhaps the best way to display and capture full 1080i HD content onto one's computer. The Hauppauge unit captures at true H-264 1080i in a variety of formats including MP4, Xbox, PS3. It captures crystal clear HD, especially in the Windows 7 Media Player which is extra clear. You cannot tell the difference in quality between these and DVR captures. But with the Hauppauge (which you can buy from Amazon) you can capture small snippets of anything, or stills, in full blown HD. This cable works just the same as the component cables right out of the back of the main DirectTV or cable system boxes.This thing started up on the HD PVR on the first try without any adjustments. I am extremely pleased that I could input DirectTV into my computer out at a remote location. DirectTV did the Genie with it's C-31 mini right. DirectTV markets this cable under their own name. Many to most YouTube HD captures are done this way.If you've got a C-31 Mini and a Hauppauge at about 150-180 bucks, buy this cable. If nothing else it makes a dirt cheap full screen HDTV out of your computer and in it's smaller window, you can both watch TV and do your computing all on the same screen. I run two monitors which make it even easier.
