Wireless connection?

Does DirecTV offer a wireless/cordless connection for their regular service? All my TVs use a cable connection currently and it would be nice if I didn’t have to use one

There will always be coax from the dish to a receiver and if it is a Genie then you can use wireless clients although wired is better.

There is no wireless connection to the TV itself. All boxes will connect by HDMI (or other if older TV). And of course there is the coax coming from the dish down to your boxes.

There are Wireless Mini Genie Clients, but the wireless video bridge (WVB) and main Genie are still wired to the coax, plus the Clients are wired to the TV of course.

Wireless hasn't replaced everything as wired is more reliable per nature of the technology.
