HDMI ARC

I just bought a new TV that has an HDMI arc hook-up.  Does the direct box that I connect have the capability of using ARC?

No. ARC stands for "Audio Return Channel". It's used when connecting the TV to another audio device, like an AV Receiver or Soundbar. Your DirecTV box can connect to a non-ARC HDMI INPUT on your new TV.
