One other thing to add and ask about regarding my HR34 Genie that died today (hard drive died). When we moved where we live now 3 years ago, we brought two HR20's and one HR22 from our old house. We had the Directv guy install the HR22 in one of our bedrooms. Then we had them install a Genie (HR34-700) in our living room and a C31-700 in another room. Directv told me they would send recovery kits for the two HR20's but they never did so. I chose not to do their job for them so those two are still stored in boxes in my attic.
If I brought one of those down, would Directv allow me to reactivate one of those older HR20's??? Would they even work on the current Sat network??? Not as a Genie of course but as a stand alone HD-DVR??? I don't know how they handle the fact that the access card has been used before, by ME, some 3+ years ago. Would they let me activate that again??? To tide us over while we figure out the best way to get an HR54 to replace our dead HR34???
thanks
