SHARE PROGRAMS BETWEEN ROOMS
The Genie HD DVR can be configured two ways to share content
across your home:
1. As part of a Whole-Home DVR network - Genie enhances
your current Whole-Home setup. When connected to
other HD Receivers as the hub of your Whole-Home DVR
experience, Genie allows you to stream recordings to four
active rooms simultaneously (up to three Whole-Home
Clients).*
2. In a Client-Server setup - with Genie Minis, DIRECTV
®
Ready
TVs or other RVU-capable devices in your home. RVU is a
technology that allows you to connect certain TVs, devices,
and DIRECTV Clients to your Genie HD DVR, without adding
a full-featured DIRECTV Receiver. Please see next page for
details.
NOTE: *The Genie Receiver will work with any other DIRECTV
HD DVRs, HD Receivers and Clients that are compatible with
Genie and Whole-Home service, so you can play, pause, rewind
and delete recorded content that’s on your Genie HD DVR from
any room in the house. However, you will not be able to record
content to the Genie from another HD DVR.
