When I installed my Genie I I knew my son would be moving into my basement while he repaired his home so I ask the tech if he could bring his Genie I over and use my antenna and he said no because they work off RF on the cable. When my son came over he brought his equipment and I told him it wouldn't work. He argued but gave in and we went out to the MH and took his receiver out of my MH and reprogramed it to work on the 3 LNB dish I had. Now I could have gotten another Mini "I only had two" but he was still paying for all his equipment.
