re: Connect surround sound to DirecTV genie box

Hopefully this is a good enough explanation. Otherwise I’ll have to use pictures

I have a DirecTV dvr full size box in my living room. Surround sound for the living room is plugged into the RCA ports in the back of it. No issue there obviously since the full size box has RCA ports on the back

The genie in my bedroom (which apparently works wirelessly via the box from the LR?) only has an HDMI port on the back, therefore the bedroom surround sound has nowhere to plug in since there are no RCA ports on the genie. So I’m stuck using the regular tv speakers via HDMI. Make sense?



The only thing I can think is get an HDMI splittler and plug it into genie with one cord going to tv and another going to an RCA converter like the one pictured above
