Whole home settings

Can anyone help me to keep recordings from one room's TV off the other room TV? Is it possible to keep recordings seperate and so lvrm stuff cannot be deleted from other rooms? Please help! Thanks!

What are the receiver models? If the living room TV is a Genie receiver and the other room TV’s are Genie clients, this is NOT possible. However, if the other room TV’s are standalone HD/HDDVR receivers (i.e. HR20-HR24 or H21-H25) then you can go into the settings of the Living Room receiver (Menu, Settings, Whole-Home) and choose to have recordings only able to be deleted at that location.

If you have Genie (HR34, HR44, HR54) and/or regular HDDVRs than you can go into Menu > Settings & Help > Settings > Whole Home and hide that DVR from other others or even just turn off remote deletion (so other rooms cannot delete from that one box).

Mini Genie Clients will always have access to the Genie as they are extensions of it. Think of all those TVs on one DVR.

Genie-2 (HS17) only allows Clients, so this model there is no way to have anything separate. A big reason I avoid this model.
