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!
I think you misunderstood what I was saying. If your Genie Main box fails, none of your other boxes will work. I have the maintenance agreement too. Yes, they will come out to your house and fix it. We camp out in our RV about 100 nights per year, weeks at a time. If your box dies in Georgia and you are moving every few days, good luck getting a tech to come out to bring you a new box. With stand alone boxes, I take 2-3 and if one dies ( I have had several die in the last ten years), I use another one.
