Wired:
The fastest, most reliable connection. Your house must be wired for Ethernet, or you must run cables from a
network router to your DIRECTV HD DVR.
Wireless:
This can be easiest method if you already connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. However, wireless connections may
be slower and somewhat less reliable than wired. You can order the Wireless DIRECTV CINEMA Connection Kit from
directv.com, or at 1.800.531.5000.
