DIRECTV Genie 2 DVR Genie Server Receiver (HS17)

DIRECTVs Genie 2 DVR, also referred to as Genie Server, is the next generation Genie DVR. It provides breakthrough features, sophisticated integration, and enhanced customer experience. The Genie 2 satellite receiver has no connection or output to a TV and is dedicated to providing services to its Genie clients like Genie Mini and Wireless Genie Mini receivers.

Key Features:

• Up to 7 HD simultaneous streams including 2-4K streams (5-HD + 2-4K)
• 2TB of Storage (450 hours of HD content)
• No need for external Genie Go or Wireless Video Bridge, seamless access to content on the go
• Because the Genie 2 is not connected to a TV, its required that each TV have a client or be a DIRECTV-Ready Smart TV.

DIRECTV recommends that all users upgrade to Reverse-Band capable dishes with a Genie 2 install. While the Genie 2 will work with an older dish or multiswitch, some functions may be disabled. It is better to upgrade now. Standard-definition only dishes will not work with the Genie 2.

NOTICE: Genie 2 needs to be placed in a vertical position. Sensors will detect when the orientation is not vertical. The Wireless LED will display Flashing Yellow, and the clients will display an On-Screen Tilt Error Display.

*If you currently get standard-definition locals from the 119 satellite and you wish to keep receiving standard-definition locals, you will need the Reverse Band 5 LNB. If you are only interested in HD locals, you only need the Reverse Band 3 LNB. Find out more here.
