4 K
When technician installed my HR54-200 I asked if it was 4 K and he responded that it was and would work with my Samsung 4K tv. However I have not been able to tune to a 4K program and now wonder if it needs the mini to work. Can I just swap a mini with the main unit and have it work as it should?

Tech didn't give you accurate information. The HR54 is only part of the 4K setup.
4K Requirements:
HR54 Genie on non 4K tv (Can connect to a 4K tv, but will not provide the 4K feed to it).
C61K Mini Genie Client (wired only at this time) on 4K tv.
Remember Client has no tuner of its own, uses 1 from the Genie.
4K tv must support HDCP 2.2, HDMI 2.0, and 60fps (frames per second)
Directv Installation, 4K tv must be there
Package Select or above as of 12/15/2016 (used to be only Ultimate or Premier). So only the Family package will not get 4K service at all.
At this time there are only a couple channels in 4K (plus a few PPVs)
Even if you have multiple C61K or RVU clients, only one tv can be using a 4K channel at a time.
