Connect, yes... see in 4k, then depends, but very few of the old ones, maybe none will show 4k.

The experts here will know, but why not help and give the model number of your receiver?

(It's sort of like saying will my old car go 100mph with no other data)

What Receiver model?  As long as it has HDMI output, you're good to go.

Yes you can connect it. You just will not receive 4K of course.

So connect by HDMI same way as the old TV. If your DirecTV box doesn't have an HDMI port, then you will need to replace it as DirecTV has been dropping support of SD-only boxes and service.

My receiver is Directv 24-500.  Can I connect a new Samsung 4K TV to it?

I have a Directv Receiver Model HR-24-500.  Can I connect a new Samsung 4K TV to this receiver?

Sure... you can connect it... but I don't think you will get 4K....

@123carolyn  your question has been answered multiple times and you created another post about the same topic. So I merged them into one

Plug your HR24 into your 4K TV like any other HDMI device.

Change your TV's input accordingly (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, etc.).

You will get your channels, just not in 4K.

Since you have asked and have been answered multiple times, please let us know what about this is not making sense for you.
