As an existing customer once you buy the Genie how does the leasing work? How does the leasing work if you buy the Minis on Amazon as well?

When the Directv guy came to hook it up, he told me to return it because he had one on his truck that he could use instead. So I returned this to Amazon. Saved me almost $300 les shipping. Directv basically owns all of their equipment even if you buy from someone else. I did not get the minis because I already had dvrs in the other rooms. Hope this helps.

No matter how much you pay you never own the unit. Once you activate it, if you choose to cancel the service and want to sell it to someone else you can't because Directv will want you to send them the unit and if you choose not to they will charge you the cost of a new one, unless you buy it from Directv for over $800 now. It's similar to a cell phone except that you will never get to own till they no longer wish to carry it because they have newer models. I suggest if you want to buy it cheaper from somewhere else that is fine but pay for the $7.99 service plan. That way everything on your account is covered no matter where you bought it.

My old Genie was old also. The Girud universal just acts like a manual switch and probably works with the real old motors. My old Genie motor requires one press to open and two presses to close. Therefore you must press the remote twice, however it requires a little timing. If you press too fast it doesn't respond fast enough... After a few months, my Genie motor died. So the cost of the Girud divided by 3 months was not a good investment.

For my opinion YES. It's easy to install, functional, well made. Directions for programing ia very easy to follow. Great value. The remote functional and convenient to carry. Good size & fit. I'm very satisfied and don't plan to change Genie for different brand

It appears that you have to sign up for autoship if you want the cheaper rate. My guess is that it might be a good idea to try it once on Amazon to make sure you like it before you get locked in.

The Toshiba Thrive was actually the only big item Goldbox deal I have been able to get in on after following these deals for years. I actually had two computers set up with my account and my wife's account ready to go. I clicked on both computers the instant the deal went live. One computer secured the item, the other was +500 on the waitlist. It is really a matter of luck, but at least when you have the item secured, you know you are going to get it. I missed the same deal at Newegg after checking out because they oversold.

I have the mini. I have purchased two for these off of amazon and been very satisfied.

N. Bird, you are correct, according to an Apple rep who I spoke with on 12/2 after posting my reply to the original post. The other thing is, my customer sales person from Apple was able to offer me a 6% discount on the spot when I told them of the $50 differential between Amazon's price and theirs. I know!! Her response: "Yeah, not enough people ask for a discount when they call, but they should!" All told, with tax (from both the Apple store AND Amazon), I'd have saved $2 by buying from Amazon... Not worth it! I'm buying my iMac direct from Apple for peace of mind.

My parents purchased the Cefaly through an unaffiliated distributer in Canada. It cost a little bit more, but I've got a working device at home. Recently, I saw the device for sale on Amazon. If you can't find it, then they must've taken it down. I'm not sure that it is legal to sell in the US yet. It works really well for me, so I hope you can find one.

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 think if you buy it from the company you get a 30 day (or however long) money back guarantee. If you want him to try it and see if he likes it, just give it to him with the understanding that you can always return it within the given time frame. People on Amazon may or may not offer that type of deal. You can always ask!

I do not know. We have a Genie, and it works together just fine. You have to set the code to match the unit you already have, but that is easy.

: A Message from Amazon Customer Service RE: A Message from Amazon Customer Service Darlene Brown 10/04/14 To: cs-reply+A3QX3F9KLSN2H0@amazon.com You do NOT want this. There are two additional complaints below: I personally purchase it and within a week of installation the screen went completely black! I sent it back for repairs and after 2-weeks of asking for the status of my repair, they sent it back and the touch screen does NOT work. So I had to pay for two installations and the only the CD player works HOWEVER you have NO CONTROL over the system!!!! Darlene Brown answered on October 4, 2014 Comment | Do you find this helpful?

Yes it will work with your existing genie. No you will not have to renew your contract. They will however charge you a monthly receiver fee though.

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 .

I've got $740 in an amazon gift balance, rewards for busting my rear end at work. As far as I am concerned I've put half my money down, and Amazon has it. I can't get that money back and go to a local dealer who said they could get it for me in a week, plus I have a vacation looming.I understand Amazon's point. I just want information. Be up front, give me good estimates, don't string me along or keep me in the dark.

Did you answer your own question above? My answer: Yes. I love it. Get it. It works fine. The competitors would rather have you spend big bucks with them instead of saving.
