How do I get my hdmi to play off my laptop. I have it connected properly.
You cannot connect your laptop to a DirecTV Genie receiver using HDMI to watch programming. Laptops typically have HDMI output ports, not input ports, which prevents them from receiving video signals from the Genie receiver. Instead, you can watch DirecTV by logging into DirecTV Everywhere on your laptop.
