Genie 2 Program Manager
Does anyone know how many programs can be added to the Program Manager on the Genie 2? My HR44-700 max's out 100. I know it has a larger hard drive and can record 7 shows at once, but is the still a 100 show manager limit? I'm asking, because I currently have the HR44 Genie, and 2 additional HD-DVR's, but the equipment is very old. Looking to upgrade, but have heard great things about Genie 2.

100 is still the max, but if you go to the hs17 you will also lose the ability to set additional programs because the two DVRs you have will not work with the HS17. The HS17 will only use clients and they do not have their own program manager, they share the HS17s list. So to go to the HS17 would be a major downgrade on your existing system. The only advantage the HS17 would give you is the ability to support up to two 4K streams to C61K clients, so unless you are going into 4K (with its limited programming) IMHO you should stick with what you have. Nothing will give you a better picture than the HR44, and it's not old by DVR standards. I still have an HR20 that runs fine even though it was the first HD DVR Directv every made,.
