    Double check you have a C61K and not a C61.

    So just to be sure I understand, you're saying that replacing the HR54 (not the clients) was required to correct this? Even though 4K is working with RVU, just not the C61K and the LG TV?

    Was there anything you can point to that was different about the replacement HR54? Do you think a complete factory reset on the HR54 I have might help? If so, how can I do that? I've already tried Reset Everything through the menu, but it didn't seem to forget the clients and didn't help.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    I was getting the same error message. I replaced the mini with and error was still there. I then call someone at DIRECTV, this person is not a regular rep. She knows is very skilled. She checked the account and everything checked out. She the advice to replace Genie and the problem was fixed.

    not so fast. There is a new mini model number. Is just a C61. So now.we have the following minis. C31/41/41W/51/61/61K.

    Check your sources before trying (incorrectly) to correct someone.

    Too bad they didn't name it something differently so it wasn't confused with the C61K.

    I've always maintained that DIRECTV doesn't do a good job of training their CSRs.

    Don't rudely accuse me of doing anything like that.

    A subscriber here posted he had one.

    When questioned, he posted a picture of the label plate showing it as a C61.

    A quick Google search got me to another satellite site that had that press release.

    I am not accusing you of anything. I was just making the point that you (wrongly) corrected me. One must make sure when you correct someone that you have the facts straight.

    I don't see an issue with the model number. The same can be said about the C41W & C41.

    I wasn't trying to correct you, only pointing out that a c61 is only available in 4k, (or so I thought), however I now stand corrected on that

    I totally agree on this, that's why I started coming here a long time ago, I find out things here long before directv informs us.

    As a Directv employee, kudos to you coming to forums and trying to inform yourself and get feedback from the customers. This shows dedication and willingness to learn and serve.

    I wish all the cable and satellite techs did more to improve their knowledge base and skills.

    Thanks for your contributions and insights (as well)
