Genie 2 location
Can the Genie 2 tower be put in a room without a TV, or does it have to be in the same room as a TV? For aesthetics, I would love to stash that ugly tower away in an upstairs bedroom that does not have a TV in it, and then have only the genie minis in the actual rooms with the TVs. Any problem with doing that?
Thanks!

The HS17 Genie2 has no video output to connect to a TV so it can be placed anywhere.

That little Genie-2 (HS17) tower can be put anywhere you are comfortable having the coax run from the dish to it, as long as it is within 100 feet. Unlike a traditional receiver, this does not go on a TV as it is a Headless Server.
Keep in mind if you have any wireless Mini Genies, the range to the Genie-2 via the Wireless Video Bridge (WVB) that is built in is up to 80 feet under ideal conditions.
So you can put the Genie-2 wherever it works for you aesthetically, just like an internet router (as it looks like one), hiding the technology you find ugly.
