You posted in the DIRECTV STREAM forum about a satellite matter. Why are you looking to upgrade a Genie Mini and what do you want to upgrade to specifically? What is it’s model number and the model number of the rest of your receivers? Do know that an upgrade comes with a two year contract.

Depends, what are the models of every box you have and which one are you trying to "upgrade"? And why are you looking to upgrade?

As long as you have the regular Genie line (HR34, HR44, HR54) you should be able to upgrade a Mini Geni to an HDDVR. But only while they are still in stock. They haven't been made in years. AT&T was trying to simplify into a all-in-one setup that was not as customer friendly.

If you have the Genie-2 (HS17), then you are stuck with Mini Genie Clients. It forbids everything else.
