If I have 2 4K TVs and want them to both play 4K directv, what do i need

I am wondering if since I have one genie box and one genie mini, will all I need be one 4K dvr and one mini

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 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.

The Genie-2 (HS17) tower can be used instead of the HR54, but is not suggested per built-in limitations and not all bugs squashed.
