Hi, @Esthermalkin. It's a good thing that you do have a firestick. It is compatible with our DIRECTV STREAM service. You can use the device, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and download the DIRECTV app. This also comes with a 5-day Free Trial. To learn more, go to https://streamtv.directv.com/

I’m putting a new smart tv on a wall without internet or cable & looking for an option instead of running wires & cable all across the room to it?

If you have a Genie you can get a WVB(unless you have an HS17 Genie2 that has it built in) and a wireless mini client to put behind the TV.

Thanks for sharing your insights @shannon02 and @Juniper. That's right, wireless genie mini communicates wirelessly with the Genie HD DVR but does require a power cord and HDMI or component cable connection to the TV. John, DIRECTV Community Specialist
