What model DirecTV box do you have?
If it doesn't have an HDMI output, then it's about to be obsolete and should be swapped for a newer HD model. DirecTV is dropping support for older SD boxes over the next year. Call them to request their free SWAP: 1 800 531 5000
In the meantime, doublecheck that your TV has only an HDMI input. Most all modern TVs still have a Composite (yellow RCA) video input. What is your TV's model number and we can look it up for you. Otherwise you'll need a converter to convert your DirecTV box output to HDMI. You'll find a wide variety on Amazon.

I highly doubt that the tv ONLY has HDMI inputs. Check the sides, back and even underneath the front panel. Sometimes inputs are in the back behind a small removable panel

Yes if all you have are SD receivers as they are now obsolete when DTV finishes their shut down of the MPEG2 channels. AFAIK there are 4 MPEG4 channels on the 101 sat at this time.
