I am set up to get a Genie to replace an old HR22. What is the latest model receiver being installed?
I want to make sure i get the latest equipment.

I received the HR44-200 on Saturday. I really like this unit, but the caller-id doesn't work properly.Goodwrnch03 said:I am set up to get a Genie to replace an old HR22. What is the latest model receiver being installed?

This is a known issue and is expected to be addressed in the next software update, or the one after that.R0am3r said:I received the HR44-200 on Saturday. I really like this unit, but the caller-id doesn't work properly.
No, that is just 5 tuners, a SWM LNB handles up to 8 tuners.Cavicchi said:Is a SWM16 dish needed for HR44 and 2 minis with Whole Home Service? I have a SWM dish installed that was used for HR24 before I left DTV. I am scheduled for install of Genie and 2 minis tomorrow. There is snow on the roof, and will that be a problem? The dish is located on the roof, and it's high enough that one needs a ladder.
Ooma is a landline...it just uses the internet to route calls rather than POTS (Plain Old Telephone System).maerativo said:Caller ID works with my Ooma system. No land line.
Wonderful, and I just had an HR44 C41 install yesterday and began a 2-year contract :blackeye: :bangjborchel said:This appeared in Swanni's column today:
"The tech site writes that DIRECTV has announced that it has launched a WVB access point (AP) and the C41W set-top. They come with the new Quantenna 4x4 802.11ac WiFi technology, which can ensure speeds up to 1.7GBps, faster than most routers on the market. CNET says the set-tops will be offered for free to both existing and new customers, but the company's track record suggests it could be tied to a two-year customer agreement."
Is this the HR44-700 discussed in this thread? WillDTV really replace my HR34 with this at no charge as Swanni says? What do you really get with this new receiver that my HR34 doesn't have?
This is a client system that works with your genie, didn't replace it.This appeared in Swanni's column today:

Actually not at all. Its a completely close system that doesn't integrate at all with your current wifi and never will."The tech site writes that DIRECTV has announced that it has launched a WVB access point (AP) and the C41W set-top.

Gives me an excuse to upgrade to 802.11ac.
