Direct TV upgrade to Genie 2 knocks RV'rs out
We were due an upgrade for our Directv at home. The old system would freeze up, reboot on it's own, turned into a nightmare. We went from the Genie 1 system to the Genie 2. Awful idea. The new ...

RJL, I don't understand your home issue in that neither the Genie 1 or Genie 2 work correctly at home. Again get that problem fixed.
DTV is dropping SD transmission in 2019 which means that your in motion dish and MH receivers (I'm assuming all SD equipment) will no longer work, regardless of what account you have.
In 2014 I realized the SD future was limited and trashed my in motion dish and installed a RF Mogul SWM dish. At that point I had a HR24 receiver that I used at home and in the RV. In April of that year I upgraded the home dish to SWM and replaced the HR24 with the HR44. I've never had any problems with the Genie 1 HR44 at home and in the RV.
You can certainly take and use the Genie 2 and one or more mini clients in the MH. But you will need a dish that supports SWM possibly with SWM8 conversion equipment.
However I remain leary of reliable Genie WiFi operation.
OK. I have ZERO clue what your'e talking about. I pay Directv a good chunk of money each and every month to make what they install in my home work properly. This includes my MH, which I told them I have and the sole reason I have Directv. I'm a hands on enough guy, fix most of everything I have, mechanically. I feel Direct should be DIRECT with me and tell me what's going on and fix the **** they gave me. After all I'M PAYING FOR IT!!
