DIRECTV Genie 2: Everything You Need to Know about this DVR

Get ready for entertainment and lifestyle apps like never before. Digital video recorders (DVRs) are essentially computers that store content recorded directly from the television provider. However, with DIRECTV Genie 2, you’re getting far more than just recorded TV faves.

The Genie 2 lets your whole family enjoy their favorite shows in any room, on any device. Not only is it a more simplified system but also robust, as DIRECTV allows for up to seven rooms of TV. This is an impressive 3 rooms more than current competitors!

Now, the whole house can record up to 5 shows at once and store up to 200 hours of HD entertainment to watch whenever you want.

The way of the future is less clutter and more clout. Genie 2 has a central wireless server that is not connected to a TV. This means you get all the wonder of wireless, but opt out of the chaos cables and cords tend to bring. You can set up your Genie 2 in an out-of-sight location and focus on the flicks or photos you’re sharing with your guests.

What’s more, Channel Choice is your local Tucson television service provider that makes installation easier and faster. Not only can we offer an easy setup, but also recommend a connection from the DIRECTV Genie 2 to wireless Genie Minis which uses their own Wi-Fi network to operate! Whatever your pricing and package preference, we work with you both in-person or via contactless options.

When it comes to lounging, nothing says comfort like having the ability to control your entertainment without having to share bandwidth via buffering. No more screaming for more storage or fighting over recording conflicts. Watch up to 7 different programs at a time in your home.

Plus, with a world of rumored 5G hitting the nation, it’s only plausible that 4K becomes a staple in your home. Make the most of your media with 4K recording or viewing capability, ask about our 4K Genie Mini! The Mini combines seamlessly with the DIRECTV Genie 2! With HD DVR you can record, pause, and rewind live TV, plus fast-forward, and delete pre-recorded shows from any room with a Wireless Genie Mini. Talk about convenience. On the move from room-to-room? You can start watching a show in one location and finish in another. Simply have your TV connected to a Genie Mini or use an already RVU-enabled device/TV.

That’s right. Gone are the days of searching for the long lost remote to switch between your sitcom and your scores. Now, simply voice your desires through the newest addition to your household, Alexa, who will act as your personal remote. Just give Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant a holler and you’re surfing channels at the speed of sound! Alexa is now compatible with the Genie HR44, HR54, DIRECTV Genie 2, and Genie Mini set-top boxes.

Need help with setup? Again, Channel Choice is happy to send help or share guidance. Not only can you connect your DIRECTV account to Alexa, use your voice to play, rewind, and record shows, or change the channel but you can also search for what you want to watch too. Look up movies starring a certain actor or actress, words in a title, command recordings of shows, and so forth!

Not everyone wants to flip between their faves. Now, you won’t have to. Simply watch both channels side-by-side with the unique and highly-coveted picture-in-picture feature. Watch stars and stats without missing a plot twist or a point earned.
