Upgrading directv equipment

I have a 4k Samsung TV and according to a notice I saw yesterday on my account, I am due for a reciever upgrade. Today, I try to find it and it's nowhere to be found and everytime I click on equipment upgrade, it takes me to wireless upgrade and I don't even have a phone with them. Anyone have any idea how I can upgrade my equipment? I tried going to the actual directv site, but it brings me right back to the att site because I combined my internet and directv service and that's no help for me.

What are the models of each box you have now?

Are you adding any TVs?

Is there any specific feature you are looking for in an upgrade or just checking in general?

Not at home right now, I will get the models when I'm back.

What is the model number of your "Genie Gen 3"?

I am a bit confused. HR54 & Genie Gen 3? That is the same box, not two different ones. The HR54 is the 3rd generation Genie.

 

So is the HR54 your only box, or do you have more than 1 TV?

You need a C61K mini connected to the 4K TV to watch 4K programs.
