I just don't want to sign a 2 year contract. Dish has DTV beat when it comes to units.
Are you planning on leaving in the next two years? If so, keep looking for an owned unit. If not, just get a leased one.
No one likes them, but that's how it's done. If you aren't going anywhere, they don't mean anything.
While things may have been different years ago, the bottom line today is that one cannot have any (as in, any) equipment from DirecTV without also engaging in a contractual agreement.
Therefore, whether you outright own the equipment or not, you will undergo a lease for the first two years of service with DirecTV, assuming one's service started within the past recent several years.
If being under contract is a big deal, there are other service providers out there, but that might come with the cost of lesser picture quality, choices, etc. I don't know specifically -- mileage always varies.
In my case, we'll be up with our two-year Genie contract in a couple of months; awaiting to see DirecTV's alleged streaming services due out later this year before making any other equipment moves. Other providers might also start coming out of the proverbial woodwork by that point.

You can mismatch C31's, 41's, and 51's. The 41's and 51's are pretty much the same I believe.
You will need to get a new Access Card ($20) to activate that owned unit on your account. You are only allowed one Genie per account.
You should be able to tell directv you have a smart tv and activate it as an RVU client.
Then you could get one off eBay as they would not need the serial number.
As far as clients activating it had to do with how many are activated in the genie.
It's not Mac or serial number specific even though they collect that info.

C41 is the wireless client. You will need the wireless video bridge for it to work. The c51 is the standard wired client with coax input.
