Genie Configurations
Full DECA Broadband functionality is built into Genie DVRs (HR44 or
HR34). So if a Genie DVR is present on your DIRECTV SWM network,
no external DECA Broadband kit is required. Just connect the Genie's
Ethernet port to the TV-Hub's Ethernet port, either directly or via an
onboard router. The Genie DVR provides the link between the
DIRECTV coax network and the Ethernet network.
NOTE: If you cannot easily connect the Genie DVR’s Ethernet port to the
TV-Hub or an onboard network, you can use a DECA Broadband Kit, as
explained in
“Non-Genie Configurations” on page 68
.
NOTE: Genie clients cannot switch satellites; they can only view
programming carried by the satellite that is currently selected.
