Do all new customer installs get newer Genie equipment?

[bfollowell]

Should I assume that, if I sign up for new service tomorrow, that I would be getting the latest version of the Genie and Genie Mini, the HR44 and C41, respectively?

Also, we don't have "real" wired high-speed Internet available where we live. We have expensive, slow, extremely bandwidth capped, pseudo satellite high-speed Internet. Needless to say, we won't be doing any streaming or anything along those lines. That being the case, is there any reason to connect our Genie to our network?

Thanks.

Which Genie you get seems to be regionally dependent. Some areas still have and are installing the HR34, but those numbers seem to be declining. As far as connecting to the internet, it depends upon what the d/l speeds are. The installer will connect it regardless. If it doesn't work good enough, just disconnect it.
