    Our home has 3 older HR24 DVRs and 1 Genie and 1 Mini. Our Whole Home Network was allowed with the share setting on the three HR boxes to Yes, the Genie was set to no. We do not want to share the Genie programs with other boxes and we DO NOT want the programs on the HR24s shared with the...

    Hi Everyone, Considering switching to Directv. Is there a place to look up which local stations are included by zip code ? Looking at the Directv site, I don't see information for which Genie model you get when ordering / establishing a new account. I only see wired or wireless. So is it Genie...

    I've found after the Mar 10, 2021 0x14d2 update, my HR54/500 will randomly stop responding to the IR remote for at least 45 seconds, sometimes as long as a minute. Then the Genie will suddenly "catch up" and respond to all my panicked button pushes at once. I know the IR remote is working...

    I know this is a tired question, I've searched and I don't see any recent updates to this question though. My whole-home genie with wireless bridge SUCK -- the clients lose connections multiple times a day. I just now noticed that there is a Genie 2 and was wondering if it's possible to...

    I created this thread for others to consider before they swap their HR2x (HR22, or HR24) for an HR54 (Genie). I say HR22 and HR24 as those are the two models I have first hand experience with. The pros and cons are my opinion and how I think a DVR should work. I understand other users will have...

    I just upgraded to a new Genie 2 and have four TVs with a total of four minis. I pay something like $3.99 a month for the whole home networking service. That's when I had standalone DVRs. Now that it's all Genie and minis, can I cancel the whole home?

    I have had Directv since it first arrived. I suffered through running internet through the wiring in my house, which actually worked...for a while, then it didn't. Then eventually the newer receivers had Wifi built-in and my problems faded away - until last Spring (2018) when a new software...

    has anyone had issues with the HR54 and clients losing their internet connection frequently? I noticed it happened right after the last software update in April/May. I either have to reset the network connection, or reset the receiver to get the connection back. I am a network engineer for a...

    Hello! I was hoping someone could help me out and hope I am posting in the right category. I thought I cold remember a few years ago, you could go on your phone and go to directv website and select something to record when your not at home so long as your genie and/or DVR is left on? I had...

    I got my Genie 2 HR17 installed today and it's amazing. But is there any word on future 4K channels?

    Currently with DISH, but moving to DirecTV on Wednesday. I'm curious about OTA. With Dish, I have my OTA antenna connected to the Hopper3 with a dongle. Comes in handy for the sub channels DISH doesn't carry as well as during storms. Based on what I can tell, it doesn't appear the same is...

    Brand new HR54, had it about a month. Also have one Genie Mini client and a standard HD receiver connected. The HR54 has mostly performed beautifully, but at least three times in the month we've had it, it has frozen while doing a basic search for upcoming programs, requiring a red button...

    Here's my situation: we moved about a month ago. The installer put a new dish in and ran new coax for my HR44, C41, and HR24. Everything worked fine. Since then the HR44 has frozen a couple of times and I had to RBR and I have had about three or four random 771 errors but all of the channels...

    Hey folks, I've had a Genie HR44 now, with 2 wireless Genie minis (and an HR24 DVR in the basement) for about 5 months and while I love the setup for the most part, there are some ongoing issues that I hope there are some workarounds or fixes for. One mini will occasionally upon powering on...

    My HR54 has been on 0x0BF4 since Aug. 24, yet there's still not a word about it in the sticky section here. Seriously, what the heck has happened to this place?
