Is the beta tester function still used? I am/was one but haven't heard for them in some time.

That was the IAMANEDGECUTTER program. Provided early access to software updates. I haven't used it in several years.

A few thousand customers or so were chosen to beta-test the new C71KW Gemini receiver. It is a repurposed box from the actual DIRECTV STREAM Osprey Box but I believe directv chose only those with current HS17 receivers. That doesn’t mean that the Gemini won’t work with the HR44/54.
