Why haven't you been able to activate it?
I'm on the line with the Access Card team right now, seems like it may not be registered in their database yet.

FWIW, my beta test HR54 arrived a few days ago. I am unable to activate it and it came with zero documentation...

Nothing that the access card team can do. If you read your emails you would see that you will get more info later on this week on how to activate.
Ill be out of office for a while and wont have email... I didnt even know one was coming til i found it on my doorstep. Oh well.
Why doesn't directv just make the genie standard for all new installs?
Their goal is to have everyone with a Genie.
So why not install everyone with an HD/DVR give everyone a 3 month free trial and if the customer doesn't want a DVR then turn off the DVR functionality of the receiver.
They do this right now for bulk MDU accounts.
They are already doing that. Assuming that you qualify (credit check) every new install with two or more rooms, get a Genie and one client. A one room install with DVR gets a dual tuner DVR. Of course, if the customer don't have DVR service, they can get all HD boxes.Why doesn't directv just make the genie standard for all new installs?

So a new install if it's only one room can't get a Genie ?They are already doing that. Assuming that you qualify (credit check) every new install with two or more rooms, get a Genie and one client.

they can, but is not freeSo a new install if it's only one room can't get a Genie ?
On that perticular install, are they offering them for $99 or the regular $199 ?they can, but is not free
Hmmm, we all go from 2 tuners for the longest time to now 5 and everyone is happy, now 5 isn't enough ?yep, similar, the access card slot is more like the H44 or H25 though, according to some of the FCC documentation, it only has 5 tuners..... :-(
Never in the past actually read through it, that is disappointing.

Nope. Again for 4K they plan on using Transponder bonding which uses two transponders which in turn will require two tuners.OR they can be like dish hopper and just dump out 1 full transponder with 1 tuner.
