Do I need additional equipment to connect more than one TV to a
Genie™ HD DVR?

You need one Genie Mini for each additional TV. Genie Mini is a small, convenient, easy-to-hide box that serves as a remote connection to the Genie HD DVR receiver. So in a Genie Whole-Home HD DVR setup, one of your TVs is directly connected to the Genie HD DVR and each of your additional TVs is connected to the Genie HD DVR using a Genie Mini. You"ll enjoy DIRECTV service and full HD DVR functionality on every one of your connected TVs.

The Genie HD DVR also features built-in RVU technology, which allows RVU-enabled TVs to be connected to the Genie HD DVR as additional TVs in your setup without a Genie Mini box. Currently, only the 6000, 6400, and 6420 of the 2011 Samsung TV models support RVU.
