What are the receiver models of all of the boxes that you have now? The current newest Genie model is the headless HS17 server with the newer Gemini 4K client model C71KW-400 (the Gemini’s benefit is that it has built-in streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, MAX).

Mine receiver is a HR54-200 and the mini boxes are C61-500.

I have a HS17-100 and a couple C61K-700s and got an email to upgrade to Geminis.  Is it worth it?  Things work fine on my end, trying to understand the benefit.  Would I get a new HS or would the Geminis just work with the existing?

The Gemini receiver is slower than the C61K and requires a bit of extra care to work smoothly. I’d wait it out.

Your equipment is more than capable, no need to worry about upgrading to an HS17.
