Directv Genie 2 HS17

EDIT: If there is a better way of doing this outside of the Genie 2 let me know!. Thanks, BTW 4k is not a requirement

You can use an Ethernet cable to connect to the internet or use the built in WiFi on the HS17.

thank you juniper. for the h26K, those are standalone devices correct? no Genie 2 in that scenario? Just 7 H26K boxes feeding each tv? Thanks

The H26K are 4K compatible, you can use H25 that are not 4K.  That is correct both models are stand alone with no HS17 needed.  Also they don't need to be connected to the internet as having no hard drives they can't buffer On Demand.

thanks. We were also hoping to be able to use the direct tv control app for multiple device controls. I would expect the H25 or h26k to need to connect to the building network for that to happen correct ?

You will probably need a DECA BB to connect to the internet.  AFAIK that app is only used for business.

its an office building with public employees. They have a gym on one of their floors with 7 displays. Really hoping to utilize the control app in this scenario. I'm fairly certain they have a commercial DTV account already because they have a dtv box in almost every room.

thanks guys

They need to contact DTV Business.

What is the name of the iPad app that is used for businesses to control the TV channel for multiple receivers on multiple displays? I'm doing 7 receivers on 7 displays. The only app i found is 10 years old on youtube. Looking for some type of screenshot or reference to show the client.
