For what its worth we just had a Genie and one client installed to go with our three other receivers. $50 installation and free stuff. Two days later the Genie quit. A WEEK to get them back out!

I told them to bring along regular receivers in case I wasnt happy with their service call.
P.S. If you didnt know it if the main Genie quits ALL related Genie components quit. So if you change make sure you keep at least one standard receiver.
With this known information, would it be too much to ask the installer to let me have a stand alone receiver (no DVR....). Would they be likely to do it? It has been about 10 years since I had DirecTV, so I am sure a lot has changed, but I never had a problem with them. As a matter of fact, when we moved overseas, we found six receivers in the floor of our coat closet, I guess we kept getting "free" equipment, but never used it....

I wanted the Genie since my current DVR is always hovering around 15% usable space remaining. Sounds like I should be able to get the Genie and keep the old box for the RV without getting another account. Thanks for all the great input.
