The installer would have left the old box(es). Mine did. I just converted the house to SWM but did not want Genie. For one thing, if your Genie box dies; no service anywhere.
I have no idea where you got this idea. I pay DirecTV a monthly maintenance fee and they come right out and replace my equipment no matter what happens. If you don't pay the monthly maintenance you may have to pay for a service call, but either way you can get service on any of DTV's equipment. You may not have wanted to get a Genie, but don't make up reasons for others not to get one. It's the best DirecTV DVR ever!
