Recording and Deleting from the Genie 2 C41W-500

How can I prevent a program from being recorded in every room in the house?

And, How can I prevent recorded programs from being deleted from any room in the house?

They don't, only the Genie records the programs, you can prevent minis from watching them with parental controls.

You can't minis are remote controls for the Genie so can delete programs.

Thank you everyone who responded! 

That's a bummer!

Guess I'll look into those independent boxes. 

I assume they will cost more money! ☹️

Thanks Juniper! 

It was the HR series (HR22), that I had to switch from. Directv sent me a notice about one of my receivers needing to be updated (it was a non HD DVR), otherwise I was going to lose certain channels upcoming...

The change was free, but after they installed that one Genie it messed up all my other receivers and I could not watch tv....

So, now I'm all Genie'd up and I don't like it! 

But like you said, they made them (clients) because it's easier for them.....

Anyways, thanks for your comments
