In most cases you plug an HDMI cable into both.

Same way as the old TV. You connect your DirecTV box to the TV by HDMI and change the TV's INPUT or SOURCE to the same one (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, etc.).

However, if your old box didn't connect by HDMI than more info about your setup (like model of box) would be needed.
