Keep in mind if the genie goes out then any other boxes u have will also go down I kept my power supply in the loop when I got the hr54 for that reason
It uses your tv's Ethernet port to connect to the genie basically making your tv a client just like the c61k was not sure if u need DIRECTV to come out to set this up hopefully someone else on here can answer that
Don't know of u have done it yet but the update for hdmi 2.0 is available for download did it with mine the other day now just have to hope they will start broadcasting 4k sometime this century
Purchased a Logitech harmony 700 a while back even got the Bluetooth adapter for the ps3 once I programmed with my computer never had a problem turns all my components on and off with no issues
When I open my playlist it's out of sync with my hr34 it's showing programs that have been deleted weeks ago from my hard drive and when I try to delete them it tells me unable to delete try again later just curios if anyone else has had this issue
