My mother is the one who needs a lot of tuners. Everyone else does not care much. Although my mother and my uncle watch a lot of the same programs. If one records on one genie mini can the other genie mini see the recording?
If not we will suffer with Dish more until DTV releases a Genie with 8 tuners which would be perfect 2 tuners for each TV.
Yes the play lists are shared.
Minis can even play recordings off the HR2*s.
Minis can't record to the HR2*s Only the Genie, But H25s can record to both and will ask you which DVR you want to record on.
H25s though won't show you what's recording in the guide when you set a recording, and H25s can't Pause and rewind Live tv as it's not a DVR.
But H25 has its own tuner, and can set recordings and playback recordings, pause ,FF,RR from any DVR in the house also.
But the minis can Pause rewind live tv since it's using the hard drive from the Genie.
