Using a Direct TV Genie in an RV
We just installed a Winegard Travlr HD (SWM) dish on our motorhome to replace the old SD-only dome. We have a Direct TV HR24-500 HD/DVR and want to upgrade to a unit which will record and/or watch more than two channels simultaneously. I thought upgrading to a Genie receiver was the solution. I was sure I saw posts about people doing this including just moving the Genie from home into the RV. But Direct TV Support is telling me I cannot do that with a Genie because of the associated technology and my best solution is to stream with a "Gemini" which seems to need a lot of internet connection. We do have a Verizon MiFi 7700 hot spot but not sure that would work.
We are not fulltimers any more but still are on the road 2-4 months a year. Does Direct TV have it right about not using a Genie?
