How does Direct TV know if you are using this additional unit if you are not using more mini genie units at one time than your subscription?

Every mini genie has to be registered with direct TV before itWill work at all. You have to register the MAC address with them.

I had to call and have it added to my account before it would work. I tried adding it through the menu but it wouldn't let me.

you need to call Directv in order to activate the mini genie and they give you a passcode to add the client and then they add $6.00/month to your subscription

You need to make sure you get the correct model. The remote access allows you to change access codes each time there is a new renter.

If you just had DTV installed you have 14 days to get the free mini(s) buy calling DTV. After 14 days you have to buy them. Either way you have to activate them and pay the $6 fee for each mini's to work.

DIRECTV-CCK-W-Wireless-Cinema-Connection is strictly used for "On Demand". This unit receives signals through your wi-fi home setup and the unit needs to be directly connected to your DVR. So in regards to using Genie to other TV sets, as far as I know, Genie transmits shows you have recorded on your DVR and I really don't know if "On Demand" would transmit to other TV's in your house.

I don't.know either I had a problem getting it to work with direct tv so I went.out and bought a powetr supply but it made no difference . Bottom line it works great with my BD player and it worked with Charters box just not the Genie .

Yes. The GenieGo will prompt to setup external access the first time that a device is connected to it. It can configure external access automatically on most newer routers. Once that is done, anything that you have recorded on your DVR (with the exception of rented PPV movies, Video On Demand movies) can be "streamed" through an internet connection. The GenieGo basically transcodes the video (compresses / reduces the quality) in order to make it into something that can be streamed over internet connections that are less than optimal.

as far as I understand you can not be activated until Direct tv check your equipment, your card and your remote control.

I don't know about that model, but you can call Genie and give them both model numbers and they can probably tell you.

yes, our DirecTv box is a Genie & hangs a bit over the edge but is super sturdy. I've run into it a few times & have had zero problems.

The manua says that this product works with Genie systems that had 2 or 3 setting dip switches or a smart/learn button. My unit had a smart/learn button and worked great.

You will have to activate the Genie with DirecTv to get it working, but that constitutes an equipment change to your original contract which will require 24 months renewal.

The way I understand it how many shows you can record is limited by number of LNBs and SWM technology. For instance on my motorhome I have an older dish with no SWM so I can only record 1 program but at home I have the Genie and can record 4. The OTA has no impact on this. You only need one OTA and all of the available channels will appear on the guide and you can choose as many as your setup will accommodate. Keep in mind the channels available are what Directv makes available in their database for your zip code - not necessarily what you can pick up with your roof antenna. I am usually able to get the channels I want but sometimes have to play with zip codes until what I want is populated in the guide.

Sorry, it's at my cabin in N.C. and probably won't be up there before Christmas. For any you are looking at, they should be able to give you the ID#, then just call Directv and they will tell you if it is programmable. and yes, I learned by getting one then finding out it was still an "active" receiver and could not be programmed.
