The latest is still the C61, but there is a C71 series in testing that is designed for the new 'Directv via IP' product and its manual talks about it being designed to work with the HS27 as well. Though no sign of the HS27, at least not from anyone who is able to talk.
The C71 is a lot more powerful than the existing clients, because it is designed to run apps itself rather than have the Genie run them (so the HS27 may well be less powerful than the HS17 since it won't have much to do)

All I ask is for Directv to do 4 things..
1) Release a 21 tuner Genie which should be able to be supported by a reverse band LNB.
2) partner with TiVo to write the software.
3) allow more equipment on the account besides 1 genie.
4) release the new ota dongle already.
As far as the TiVo, it should be an optional upgrade. Something to blow the hopper out of the water

If you have 3 what's the point of 1? A Genie with more than the 16 tuners it already has is problematic because it maxes out a DSWM30 output, so I don't see much chance of that. I mean if you are going to wish for more tuners to match what the reverse band LNB is capable of, why not wish for a reverse band LNB that handles more tuners? They could build an LNB that output 40 tuners if they wanted to, why not do that and make a 40 tuner Genie if you're going to dream?
What about moving to a headed Genie server that outputs to 4k over HDMI and would have HDMI 2.1 built in? Also have it be small maybe something like 8" x 5" X 1"? Or 10" x 5" x 1"?
Uh, some members of that community would agree with you, some of us in that community, including me, would not.

DirecTV needs to come up with a stand alone 4K DVR...
What is a single TV household with a 4K TV supposed to do if they want 4K ability on their single TV? Right now get a Genie PLUS the 4K Genie Mini and pay the $7 extra TV fee for it even though they only have one TV?!?!?!?!? DUMB!

They probably won’t. Next release will be the C71 with the IP service. If it supports 4K streaming channels then they push people that way
Otherwise I am sure the data indicates X amount of households they serve have more than one tv. So why develop another box when maybe 5-10 percent of there households have more than 1
Your saying only 10% of D* subs have more than 1 TV ?
I find that VERY HARD to believe ...
