    Genie Mini c61k pissing me off.

    It's not a wiring issue.... I've talked to engineers from directv and it's a firmware issue.... They still are back logged patching a ton of other stuff....... Nobody on the front line support will tell you... You have to coax one of the ISS guys to tell you about it.

    Dish Hopper/Joey moca doesnt work for me. D*?

    I would go with the Genie and C41 minis........ While the H25 is nice you get the same capabilities of the Genie on the Minis....... When you get a chance I would check the F connectors in the wall plates and see if they are low frequency gray/white ones or hi frequency blue/orange...

    Line of sight

    If he is saying you need all 5, that would be a SWM 5 install... Your locals are all on 103 you shouldn't need 110 or 119 which are on the SWM 5. You should only need a SWM 3. 99/101/103 HD of course. Need to check a local dealer and not have the HSP send anyone else out. SIG

    Line of sight

    As a Dealer I see no problem with Putting in a SWM3. You don't need 110 or 119.. You get NFL Sunday ticket included with Choice packages and above. Might as well get the Genie/Client system as well.......... 1st yr is the big savings and 2nd year it goes up about 20/mnth. SIG

    Nervous about DTV

    The Sales guy is an idiot........ The number of satellites has no bearing on your signal quality....... Proper installation will ensure signal quality . But factors such as rain or snow will affect the signal...... It will work in normal rain and snow but real heavy rain storms or snow...
