After connecting the AM21 to my Genie HD DVR (HR44-500) will my Genie Mini's (C41-700) share the OTA channels?

Yes, The mini client's will add the OTA channels and you can view, record, pause, just like any other show....
1543888
It should. The mini is only a wireless connection of your genie. Yes positively.

If you can tune to the local channels okay but they simply don't appear in the guide, my guess is that DirecTv does not create guide information for AM21 channels it doesn't carry on satellite. I use the TiVo THR22 and that's how it works - I have to connect to the TiVo server to get programming information for the unique locals. Besides (or because of) not being in the guide I also couldn't schedule recordings until TiVo filled in the blanks, so to speak.

My neighbor and I both have the same unit, the THR22. The AM21 works great, just not with the THR22. The THR22 still records from local via sat. Also, if you cancel service, like neighbor did, the THR22 unit becomes doorstop and usb stops working also. Directv would not add it to my account even though neighbor paid for unit outright. I haven't tried it since last year, but in any event Tivo has a much better than average cust knowledge base, unlike DIRECTV worth calling. I still have DIRECTV and like it, so I'm not slamming them perse. IN any event, my conversations with both companies informally leads me to believe that Directv really does not care to much for Tivo and the two units are not supported together. I have no doubt that some hack somewhere might have cracked them to work together, but it would probably violate several state and federal laws in the process. Call Tivo and ask them.

For splitting DirecTV Program, the answer is no. For providing Genie with DTV Program and the TV for of the air programming, the answer is yes. The idea of SWM is to stack multiple tuners set-up and share among other DTV box, either DVR or client. Also Samsung 6000 Series and above can act as client; this TV can get DTV programming without another box.

It is not the antenna that is relevant, you must have the SWIM system to use the Genie itself, and also to use the mini genie (wired or wireless). The mini works off the Genie so you must have the Genie in order to use a mini. If you do not understand any of this, you would be well advised to get professional assistance.

I have a genie as well as the smaller HD boxes, I know it's also compatible with HR 24 as well

The SL3-SWM is the DirecTV HD LNB which, when used with the SWM dish and power inserter, will provide an HDsignal to the receiver. The HR44-700 (Genie) is a DirecTV HD DVR it should work with the SL3-SWM LNB and thepower inserter. Don't forget to use the splitter which blocks the power from getting to the HR44-700.

Yes it should work. See attached link. http://www.winegard.com/offair/directv-usb-tuner.php (you may have to copy and paste this link to search) Use your integrated tuner with DIRECTV receiver models D11 or H20, or use the DIRECTV AM21 off-air dual tuner accessory in connection with your other receiver models.

Yes, we pretty much use them for Genie situations as this is what the customer is now getting..... Make sure you are using a "band stop filter" so that way the DVR content is NOT seen by the other person on the SWM 16 switch if they have a Genie or other Directv DVR...

Yup! You just have to set them all to the same channels. (The guide book that comes along will show you)

Well I don't know about others but this does NOT work with (as?) my Genie GT 912 (does). I guess the only way it could work is to somehow reset your receiver.

NO. Let me say again... NO. I have a DirecTV DVR in the next room. Although it is seen by my E4200 and the DVR I can NOT get an internet connection. Basically it says it is connected but can't find the internet. CISCO is of no help.

I don't know because we do not have any clients. We have an HR34/700 Genie and an HR24/100 with no clients.DirecTV tech support should be able to answer any questions that you have concerning their receiver and client usage.

I have the Tivo Premiere XL4 dvr. The XL4 and mini work together through wi-fi home network. I am sure it's the same with Roamio. Good luck

I am also not an expert, but I have an HR44 and HR24 with a Slimline 5. You really should talk with DIRECTV as I believe the whole house functionality with only work with 2 HR-XX's. I recommend replacing the B-Band converters and switching to SWM, as it eliminates the wiring mess from the dish. It works well. Be careful re the "Genie" ... DIRECTV seems to use the term to describe both the HR34 and the HR44. The HR44 is a significantly better unit. Smaller and near zero latency re channel switching. The HR34 has real problems. I got rid of mine.

Other response is correct, DirecTV Genie does not output the necessary 5v. Other than that works fine. You can micky mouse a work-around by turning on one of the other devices on the switch, and then manually switching to the input you want, but is a nuisance.

Yes, we did and it works great. We have the genie in the living room and one of the minis in the bedroom. You just have to make sure you bring all the wires, splitter and the converter from your house into your RV.
