CONNECTING
I had the original Genie and was able to watch from my VCR/DVD combo as well as record on to them from recordings in my Genie. I now have the Genie 2 and can't seem to find anywhere how to connect and do the same. Please help.

The Genie-2 (HS17) doesn't go on a TV itself so has no such outputs. You will need to check the outputs of your Mini Genie Clients instead.
Be aware that if your Genie-2 ever has an issue all TVs go down as they cannot work without the main box. Plus you are hard capped at 7 tuners. This is because the Genie-2 (HS17) forbids receivers from being on the account and only allows Clients instead. The regular Genie line (HR34, HR44, HR54) allows other receivers like HDDVRs making it a more capable system overall.

The C41W is not a Genie and can't record anything it is a mini client and it has the A/V output that needs the composite 10 pin din cable to get the yellow red/white RCA plugs to connect to the VCR to record from the C41W and you have to connect the VCR to the TV to watch it.
