All,
Rather than start a new thread, I searched Genie and found this one from 2013. Now that its 2016 and I am finally considering my options to replace our Kingdome in-motion on Dish Network with either an RF Mogul or Winegard Trav'ler with SWM technology I just wanted to ask for clarification on a point or two.
Since we're going to the Winegard Trav'ler we will have the choice of Direct TV or Dish, both in HD, so we're picking Directv. I've read that with the Genie DVR and another Genie remote box in the bedroom of our 40' Marquis that we'd only require a SINGLE coax from the Trav'ler or RF Mogul into the Genie DVR (which would be up front where our current satellite feed comes in from the KingDome).
My understand is that because of the SWM technology a SINGLE coax output from the roof antenna provides the only input to the Genie DVR that is necessary and the DVR is set up to transmit wirelessly to the remote Genie we'd then have connected in the bedroom. No other connections are required as was the case "in the old days of Genie" where Genie communicated over the coach coax to either the basement TV connector or the rear bedroom connector. Because this is now wireless we can even use the original over the air coax to still allow live OTA TV in the back bedroom.
So, my assumptions are, SWM Antenna plus Genie DVR plus 1 Genie remote, a subscription from Directv including paying for an additional receiver would allow me the same product that is installed in a home.
Is this correct? And if not where am I going wrong?
Mike
