    HR34 vs. HR44

    Just had a HR44 installed yesterday, it is faster at everything than my old H23. Since the receiver is smaller and went into the same space there is a lot more room for airflow. The unit has been powered on and operating for 5 hours this morning and I just checked the internal temperature, it is...

    Genie Upgrade..Installer No-Show

    BTW the HR44 is pretty cool, compact and quiet, and the Genie gives a more streamlined look to the TV on the wall in the workout room. I just have to get used to the remote.

    Genie Upgrade..Installer No-Show

    Yes that did the trick. Now when I take that HR21 with me in the camper I will need to switch it back to the Slimline 3. Sticky note going to where the coax comes out of the wall in the camper. The accutrac was getting a signal but it was pulsating and not acting like anything I had seen when...

    Genie Upgrade..Installer No-Show

    The installer showed up a couple hours late but it was no big deal since my wife was home. He did call and let us know he was running late, so no problem. I got there as he was putting the splitter on the dish pole out back, one wire into the top and then my other wires still buried and running...

    Genie Upgrade..Installer No-Show

    Here is an update on the situation. I got a call this morning apologizing for the mix-up and setting a new time for tomorrow morning (Saturday) between 8am and noon. Apparently my billing phone number was different from my service address phone number and that is why they could not reach us...

    Genie Upgrade..Installer No-Show

    Thanks for your help here. I sent an e-mail to the presidents office explaining the situation, although I don't expect much will come of it. Since the weather was good I was outside here doing some needed yardwork most of the morning. I did not see any Directv vehicle and my watchdogs never...

    Genie Upgrade..Installer No-Show

    No landline, had my cel phone with me as always. Phone service is good here even with the rural area. If you use google maps on a smartphone with my address you find us in seconds so I am not seeing the big problem to find me other than a lack of effort. But beyond the no-show for what ever...

    Questions about Genie

    Thanks for the help. I expect I will keep at least one of my H21's as I use it with a spare Slimline 3 dish I bought for our camper. I did not realize that they would change out my old Lnb. I looked at my order in my account today and it shows this so I believe the installer is bringing...

    Questions about Genie

    I currently have the HR-23 700 and a couple of H21's a 100 and a 200 model. All coax wired to a Slimline 3 dish. My wife got all worked up about the new Genie commercial and called to have it installed. The installer is coming Thursday. I have a few questions about the client deal with the...
