Or ultimate. But the point is you need a genie system. The only time a customer is "double charged" for 4k is if they only have one TV in the house and it's 4k. Quit crying people... I have 16 recording tuners in my house, use about 5 at one time... total overkill.. clients are not the end of the world. Would I prefer a 4k ird with a tuner yes... I would. Would I not sub to 4k because that box doesn't exist yet? No.. and to add onto that 4k access is actually free, what your paying for is either the ultimate or premier package, if you chose that package for 1 channel that's your perogative..

so if you need 5 recordings at one time
a genie on an hd tv and a client on a 4k would not work for you
Correct, but the customer with those requirements is a small percentage of the base.
maybe, but there are also people that sign up not knowing the mini uses a tuner from the genie, then get mad
or like the one i saw on the att forums, 4 minis for 1 genie, and they all couldnt watch tv at the same time
some things are not explained properly by customer service
Thank you. Not many people think of the rural or remote areas of America. They all think like they live in Philadelphia, have blazing internet speeds, and IP would be good for everybody. Not true by a long shot.
The only other area is those who want everything from a TV box. It must tell then ball scores, it must display weather, tell them when their car is running out of gas, play movies on demand, and permit them to play games. All of which suck up bandwidth in areas that do not have that much band width to spare. For example my internet is painfully slow by today's standards, but when school is out for the summer, or it is close to Christmas and people are on line shopping it comes to an almost complete standstill as neighbors watch movies or shop....
So the IP solution is not a one size fits all...
No actually its not that simple.....You can have your HR54 sitting at your 4K tv and tvs anywhere else and you still get hit for an opening that dont get used...
unless you have 2 4k tvs? ot just 1 tv and its 4k?
or if you have 2 tvs and an hr24 on the other.
why downgrade to 5 tuners from 7?
there are situations where the 54 would go on the 4k tv
Again... you need either the 61 or rvu to view 4k. So if you choose to have two receivers active to are choosing to pay for that.

You do also need the HR-54. This is why some people are complaining since they took the 4k output using HDMI out of the server and put it in the client, which I don't understand. I guess it was cheaper to do it that way? I have seen at Pace's site now Arris have HD DVR's that output 4k using HDMI.
At other forums they think the next server wont output to 4k using HDMI and it wont even have an HDMI output at all. It would be what I think they call a headless Server/Gateway. The clients would be the only ones outputting to 4k over HDMI.
But it doesnt... we can't change the way the receivers work..
