4K in RV

@Juniper 

I have my HR-44 and C41 from my home in my RV right now. Replacing my tv in my RV to a 4K model and I know Directv will not send me the HR54 and C61K so I can install it my self because they require professional installation. Will a Directv installer install in an RV, (just need the receivers, I have a compatible dish already)? I probably will not be upgrading in my home because we are getting ready to go full time in our RV.

Only 1 Genie is allowed on the account. So you would upgrade your HR44 and C41 to the HR54 and C61K for a 4K install. Then you can move them to the RV, making sure you have a reverse LNB for the 4K channels. Though there are only a couple channels in 4K as very limited content.

That is what you should do if you have a free upgrade. To do all the work at home and the RV yourself would cost your $299 for the HR54 and $99 for the C61K for the one-time lease costs through a authorized retailer and still get the 24 month agreement.

4K requirements:

HR54 Genie on non 4K tv (Can connect to a 4K tv, but will not provide the 4K feed to it).

(only 1 Genie allowed per account)

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 60 FPS

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.

Thanks for your reply.

I guess that's kind of the point of my question. I am upgrading my tv to 4K in my RV not in my home. So I don't need a home install.

Since you cannot keep your HR44 but naturally have a home account, then best to upgrade the home and do the last little bit for the RV yourself. That would be the easiest way to get what you want.
