    part request for an HR34 Genie cardcover

    It seems I either ripped it off or I bought it this way, but the plastic cover for the card reader of my Genie is missing, I emailed Directv and sadly they cannot send me the part. I wonder if someone here from either member or site sponsor can help me. Thanks Activ8
