I honestly wish there was a redesigned something or other (GUI, Receiver, etc..)... something completely new, different and advanced. Things are getting very boring.

Yeah I agree in that Direct has to do something with their GUI it looks so dated for sure they seem to be so behind on that plus add built in streaming support or something like the sling into their next genie.
So what are new installs getting today? HR 44 or 54? Are either capable to offer the 4K content? I've just signed up and I'm curious what I'll get. I'm also a little nervous about the install.
44s for the most part and some 34s. 54s very limited release. Genies are not capable of doing 4K via HDMI. You will need a C61K. But no reason to rush unless you want to spend $15 to watch Forrest Gump on 4K!
Zero linear content on 4K right now and the near future
Rodgers cable in Canada starting live 4K HDR sports channel in January.
Was hoping ESPN 4K would be not fat away.
Canada TV and USA are two very different things. Too much politics on this side of the river!!!!
I apologize if this has already been answered, but can the HR54 output 4K from it's HDMI direct to a TV or is a C61K needed for that output?
to Satellitesguys Parlayed!You need the C61K to get 4K. No Directv box outputs 4K yet, only the one client.
Perhaps we should rename the thread title.. it is a bit confusing as this box does not actually output 4k.

In case you haven't noticed, it is the first Genie to be able to receive linear 4k content, even though it has to use a client for display.
I got a new HD DVR installed yesterday and it has the AT&T DirecTV name on it

My point exactly. I'm well aware of what it does as well as what else the hr44 is capable of. I just meant that without either an rvu client or a 4k client this box is no different than an h44 w/hdd. In fact directv has been drop shipping these to cms with the h44 as opposed to external hdds since the stock on the hard drive kit is running low.

Oh, so you know that the HR54 doesn't have the hardware for transponder bonding to allow linear 4k to a C61?
I'm fairly sure that it does have Transponder bonding.
I also fairly sure that's why some of the prototypes said Swm 7.
