DIRECTV's Genie System is the biggest news to come out of the company since the introduction of the HR20 in 2006. Even though the hardware doesn't look very different, it includes a completely different technology called RVU.
To make it easy, we've compiled a list of everything we've written about Genie and how to use it in one easy post. Some of these articles have the same information because they were written at different times, but if you read it all and watch the videos you will become a Genie expert!
