Plug your Firestick into one of the HDMI ports on your TV. Plug the USB power cable into your Firestick and into the wall or a USB outlet on your TV (if there is one)
Turn on your TV and set the INPUT device to the correct HDMI port. There should be a splash screen or setup screen on your TV at that point.
Using your Firestick remote, navigate to network settings and scan for your WI-FI router, Then enter the Wi-Fi password for your router (the same one you use for your smart phone or laptop).
You should be able to fully use your Amazon Firestick, and if you have Amazon Prime, be able to access all prime and free offerings from Amazon.
Try a different HDMI cable first into all ports. Try every HDMI cable you have. Then try a different component into TV HDMI ports. If you are using the receiver to switch inputs, try running HDMI cable straight into TV. HDMI is very finicky. Some cables won't work or stop working for no apparent reason.
Cliff, it al depends on what kind of DIRECT TV receiver you have, if it has an HDMI port on the back of the receiver then all you have to do is plug it in and change the input on your TV to HDMI
