What changes is you got suckered i to a GenieII. With that setup your not allowed to have any other receivers on your account. And NO you cannot take the GenieII with you when you want to travel. Now if you had a GenieI you could take it with you. No extra accounts needed.
Now because of all the issues with Direct and their total lack of customer care it may be time to switch.
Wrong and wrong. I have Genie at home and also have two other DVR's, one standard receiver and one wireless Genie client. I take the Genie and one DVR with me in the motorhome and sometimes an extra receiver, depending on how long I will be gone and the weather conditions (outside viewing).
Sometimes I leave one of the DVR's in the motorhome while it is in storage. Storage has power hookup. I keep the rooftop dish up there, just to keep it from having to be reset and sometimes I watch, when I'm working on the inside.

My take on Genie 2. It has issues last I checked. But I'm sure they will get resolved.
It's designed more furniture like. Must be vertical for cooling so I suspect it would overheat in a cabinet unless there is a lot of ventilation. It requires power and coax. It may not be the most desirable receiver for a RV considering space, cooling and power.
Anyone have better input on the Genie 2?

The reason they are going to the Genie 11 they don't have to install cable any more not that people are stealing their service.
Genies reduce potential stealing since the Genie Clients must be connected to the Genie either wireless or by coax. No longer can a receiver be a a friends house with his own dish.

Good clarification. Can't see how 2 accounts could be considered sharing.
I'm telling you the truth. The tech drove up in his DTV van got my son's new H24 out and went and installed it in my MH. I ash him if he wanted to hook it up to my sat and he said he would use his. Drug a dish out and set it on the ground and put it together on a stand. I know this was a waste of time but he's the boss. Came up right away and he put his equipment back in the truck. By the way he was an ATT tech. I ask.
I also told you the same tech came out on a Sunday two weeks ago and took out the new Genie II out that he had installed 3 weeks before and installed his old Genie I. It also seems they don't send equipment boxes out any more. You take your old equipment to UPS and they box it for you and send it back. Same tech he works this area.
