genie OS - same as directv SD?

[ccchuck]

My wife hates the replacement SD DVR we got when one of our old tivos bit the dust, hates it to the point that she refuses to talk about a genie if it operates the same.

Does the genie use similar?

Genie uses the new HD os that runs and looks a lot better then the old sd os.

The User Interface for the Genie is different from the SD DVR and a lot different from a TiVo.
I used to be a TiVo user gack in the day, and when DirecTV came out with the new HR series I too thought the UI would be hard to get used to.
But, over the years it has gotten better and I wouldn't think about going back to a TiVo, even the new DirecTV version.

If she really wants the TiVo interface then get the THR (?) DVR.
