What the H44 tin can bring to DirecTV is a chance to really make clean upward their product lines and upgrade customer services without a truck roll.

Vision the only active product beingness H44, Genie (HR34/HR44/HR54), possibly Genie+ (HR54 if they differentiate it from the regular Genie, depending on features), and clients.

A customers without DVR service gets an H44, and for extra TVs gets clients, up to 3 or 4 depending on DirecTV's limits.
Later decide they desire DVR - drop ship them a hard drive to plug in, add the advanced receiver fee to the account, and blast - instant genie.

Probable adds little to the manufacturing cost, using the 5 tuner vs. a single tuner likely isn't a big cost difference, everything else is pretty much the same.

I think the most intriguing part is customers that have a genie and desire to add together more flexibility to their setup - will adding an H44 and a hard drive exist like having a second genie?
They say the reason you lot can't have 2 genies is the software tin't handle a client looking at multiple servers. That said, I call up it could be stock-still by now if they wanted to, I feel the one genie limit is more to forbid account stacking and maintain subscriber acquisition costs.

i think you're probably over simplifying the multi-genie effect. the clients and genie'southward would have to essentially pair themselves and something tells me thats alot harder then you lot retrieve information technology is.

I think the all-time solution would be to Just install a genie on all new installs and but sell the DVR service as an add on service that can exist turned on and off.

With all the coin that is spent acquiring a new customer, we are literally talking the price of a hard drive.

Give all new customers a 3 calendar month trail, and see how many you lot tin can get hooked.

The interesting thing is how many customers are sold a DVR, and never even push the pause push button or attempt to record a show.

The built in ability inserter would be a god ship. Likewise many service calls due to an unplugged power inserter.

Whenever possible I endeavor to install the power inserter in the basement and so warn the client not to unplug it.

Personally I would rather take a stand solitary power inserter. But for a customer signal of view a built in i is best

Claude, The new LNB'southward don't require a ability inserter so I think they are moving in a direction that will hopefully correct that event.

Jason, Information technology would be absurd if the H44 added to the genies tuners past linking the 2 receivers together via coax or Ethernet. So if you had a genie and an H44, it extended the tuners that the genie could record on allowing more than 5 programs be be recorded at the genie. I kind of wish they did this with the AM21.

Jason, It would be cool if the H44 added to the genies tuners by linking the two receivers together via coax or Ethernet. So if yous had a genie and an H44, it extended the tuners that the genie could record on allowing more than v programs be exist recorded at the genie. I kind of wish they did this with the AM21.

Are you lot referring to a swm lnb? What model doesn't demand a ability inserter?

Yes, The new ones with Reverse ring capabilities.

i recollect you're probably over simplifying the multi-genie result. the clients and genie'southward would have to substantially pair themselves and something tells me thats alot harder so yous think information technology is.

Avoid Genie Minis and yous have zero Genie bug with a multi-Genie setup.

Exactly. I'grand of a heed that clients don't exist. I remember that Genies & Hr models are all people need for whole abode setups. At the very to the lowest degree Hxx models but definitely no clients.

It'southward impossible to have an Lnb non require power

Power is supplied by the box and the lnb has a decreased power usage no longer requiring the demand for a power insurter.

I presume the "No ability inserter required" would only employ to the H44, HR54 and newer receivers since they accept ane built in, so eventually all new installs.

not sure why all the detest on the clients. they're tiny and they exercise everything except set up network connections and PIP. it also ways less points of failure (HDD's) but with no loss of adequacy. genie goes down and and then does the clients, certain ill give you that, simply for as often as *that* happens information technology's a not-effect really.

I hate all dumb terminals. And it doesn't help that their monthly fees are same for a stand alone box.

I would be happier with clients if they were cheaper than a stand alone Dvr merely they aren't, the least directv could do is make it and then subsequently 3 clients the fourth so on (up to viii)are costless. A client could merely spotter 3 at whatsoever one fourth dimension anyways so why charge the customer full cost.

I would be happier with clients if they were cheaper than a stand alone Dvr but they aren't, the least directv could exercise is make it so after three clients the 4th and and then on (upwards to viii)are gratuitous. A customer could merely picket 3 at whatever 1 time anyways then why charge the client full price.

Information technology's screwed upwardly because they charge the dealer $30 if we don't activate clients, however then they back charge $99 when nosotros do activate and then for an existing account.

Don't forget the c61k client coming out.

I'g not a large fan of clients - after my feel with the C31 I bought an H24 and haven't looked back.

I do find it very odd that the C61 will exist out soon with 4K adequacy (for those 4K TVs that aren't RVU gear up), well before whatever of the bodily receivers have 4K capability.

In that location was a tech message this week that touched on the new H44 and external hard drives:

• · H44 Genie Lite -- H44 Genie Light is a 5 tuner, three video stream output wireless Net receiver with a built in power inserter. NOTE: It has NO hard drive which means no DVR capability unless the customer chooses to add an external hard drive from DirecTV.
• 
  
• · External DirecTV hard drives -- This equipment is drop-shipped to customers and requires DVR services to be added. One time upgraded with DVR capability, the functionality is the same as with an HR44. These difficult drives will be used in place of Hard disk receiver orders.
• 
  
• · New 4K capable client -- The C61K Customer is a 4K capable client due to launch later this year to enable 4K TVs that are non DirecTV set up to view 4K content!

Isn't Dish doing something similar with their Joeys?
Not a 4k Hopper but a 4k Joey.
Ass backwards from both companies sounds like.
