Hello Im new to this group and see that others have had questions about DTV. I have had DTV since it came out and have a cottage that has its own box and Dish as well. I have had no problem with it since installed. I am Technology challenged so need some help or suggestions.
I have H21 HD boxes and NO recorders and a Slimeline 5 LNB dish at both my home and cottage and has worked fine. I had the dishes aligned about 2 years ago and the technician left a 3 LNB and a SWM adapter for use with newer receivers which I have not installed at this point. I have been advised by DTV that my receiver is outdated and needs to be replaced.
I see that ATT will now ship the new receiver with instructions to install. My question is:
I need some help on which new receiver I should get im told its the Mini Genie and will require a SWM Dish which I can set up.
1. Does anyone have this receiver and will it work and do what I plan on doing? I will never use the recording feature. Is Genie available without wireless as I dont have at Cottage only home.
2. I feel the change to SWM is quite simple to do correct?
3. Will the Genie work with my 5 LNB or do I need to change to the 3 LNB the technician left me?
If you have any suggestions feel free to state. I understand that the H24 HD receiver is outdated as well, is that correct.
Thanks Bernie
