Functionality of HD Receiver with Genie

I have a Genie Client in my den and my wife hates it now that they have reprogrammed the genie so that you can't see the "date recorded" when you bring up your "list". I called ditectv to find out if we are doing something wrong. After 45 minutes I got an Att tech in India, or somewhere. She didn't understand me and I didn't understand her. After 15 more frustrating minutes she transferred me again. Another 15 minute wait I finally got an a guy in the US. He punched my TS card and said I could get a HD receiver for $99. I opted, instead, to buy one on Ebay for a fraction.

I know I can access recorded programs on my Genie but I happened to think, after the fact, that I may not have the pause, back up and resume functions even though it will be on the Genie network.

Will these functions work with the receiver?

Does anyone have a Genie with a standard HD receiver as part of the network?

Yes, that is my setup. No, you don't have ANY recording function on the HD receiver so it cannot pause, backup or resume unless you are watching something that was recorded on the Genie. I was considering replacing this receiver with a client so I can add those features to the bedroom TV.
