Genie Going Bad?
Does anyone know the symptoms of a Genie needing replacement? Mine is now 8 years old and having problems like momentary audio dropout and signal hanging on several different stations. I have refreshed and reset many times both from my end and via tech support. Any ideas would be appreciated.
