I just use the term "record". But I fully understood what you meant by "tape".
With a modern Genie setup you only need one DVR to record stuff, then you can view them on any TV with a Genie Mini Client box.

Just so I will be educated (which I want to be), what term should I use besides "tape" when I want to be able to see one or more future programs to view later?
I truly do not want to sound dense, but with the Bolt and Bolt Mini (which is what I think I will get), will I be able to record with the mini? Thanks for patience.
Bolt is a Tivo product and has nothing to do with DirecTV. That's a question for the Tivo Community Forum.
