We have the HR 44 Geni. The installer told us that we can watch recorded programs without the dish attached.
Turn the system on, while it searches for the antenna, bring up the "list" and there ya go!
I believe that if the system ends up rebooting 3 times without getting a satellite lock it will make it impossible to view the recorded programming because the guide data will have been erased. The recorded programs will still be there, but you won't be able to access them until you once again let the receiver have a satellite signal.
