Can I have 17 tuners?

I currently have 6 HD DVRs (12 tuners) and 1 HD receiver. I am interested in getting the Genie to replace my 1 HD receiver. Will this be too many tuners as the 5 from the Genie will put me up to 17? Can a setup have more than 16 tuners?

I know I could also replace an HD DVR with an RVU unit, but I would hate to get rid of an HD DVR, since I had to pay for it to get it in the first place.

Yes, but Peds48 is saying you'll get the error of too many tuners.
The Genie isn't really meant to have less than 5 tuners.
Right, been to quite a few SC because of this. it will boot up quite right, but you will get 776 intermittently.

I wonder if dtv is looking into making an lnb to support 16 tuners with a single coax input?
