What are the benefits of DIRECTV Genie?

DIRECTV Genie is the cutting edge HD DVR receiver system that the company has introduced in the market. There are several advantages and facets about the product that can explain why it is so attractive to home entertainment consumers. Here some of the crucial aspects as to why one should get Genie receiver:

One of the features of Genie is that you can record up to five shows simultaneously. This is especially good for families with multiple viewers who have different preferred programmes. Instead of having to choose between two favorite show, one having to stop recording to another, that is no longer the case. The available hard drive space and the Genie’s processor means that this device can comfortably handle up to 200 hours of high-definition recording capacity. This means you can accumulate a huge collection of movies, TV shows, etc. , that you can watch at any time.

The last but not the least of the advantages of the Genie is the possibility to watch stored shows on any television set in the house. For instance, it is possible to pause a show being aired in the living room and continue watching it on another TV in the bedroom or basement. The Genie utilizes the Whole Home DVR service of DIRECTV to enable recorded programs to be watched on any screen that is connected. This once needed having several DVR units but the Genie acts as a master to dish out the shows.

The Genie boasts of modern day features especially in the user interface and the remote control. The lists and menus for shows to watch or record are easy to follow. It has only the basic buttons and has one touch buttons on the top for the most used streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube. For descriptions, posters and trailers of movies, Genie’s interface employs marvelous graphics to make the program as easy to navigate as channel.

Genie is quite impressive when it comes to picture quality since all the recordings are in full 1080p high definition resolution. It is my experience that many older DIRECTV receivers top out at 720p for recorded programming. In the Genie, even when watching recorded movies and shows, they won’t be a significant downgrade to watching live. This makes the experience of watching the recordings more satisfying and much more engaging.

There is another great advantage of Genie – it is called Mini Client. This enable one to link a TV in another room directly to the principal Genie DVR without the necessity of an additional receiver. The Mini Client provides you with all the functions of the Genie’s DVR and live sports, news, and shows with the help of an HDMI connection. This is a cheap option that allows for viewing of DIRECTV on other TVs without incurring additional charges and equipment costs.

The Genie is capable of providing the multi room viewing experience which was never possible before on DIRECTV. The receiver is endowed with three tuners to enable the user to watch or record three different programs simultaneously. This means that one can be enjoying a sporting event on the living room while others are taping comedies, dramas, and movies at the same time. The storage capacity and the speed of processing is sufficient enough to handle this rigorously active work.

The Genie also features a few creative entertainment features to make your TV-watching experience more enjoyable. For sports lovers, it is possible to stream up to four games simultaneously on the same device – no play will be missed. Episode Recap is helpful when watching a series that you have recorded because it provides a brief overview of the previous episodes. Info Search and Expanded Info can be used to quickly search for further information on actors, teams or other information relating to a programme while watching live or recorded programmes. These extras enhance the viewing experience.

Genie can easily be considered as one of the most useful since it offers an easy and convenient way of getting entertainment. No matter if it’s a movie or a song or even a YouTube video – everything can be accessed easily on the same screen. The days when you have to switch between inputs on your TV or use different remotes are now gone. Genie incorporates all of it including searching for trending web videos and creating personalized music lists.

All the powerful capabilities of Genie are packed in a small, elegant looking receiver that blends well with current home entertainment systems and furniture. It also has wireless capabilities – your Genie can be positioned where signal reception is strongest without the use of network cables. Thus, all the Genie clients ensure that clients have fast connectivity when they transfer HD video streams within your home network.

In conclusion, the Genie enables recording of many programs that your household loves to watch, delivers recordings to any connected TV without interference, boasts of high 1080p HD picture quality, enables easy navigation of programs thus facilitating content search, streams web entertainment and all this in one place. DIRECTV At Home, with the Genie at the heart of your entire home entertainment experience – television has never been better.
