Recordings and...

When I go to the recordings, I get the left panel and the right panel listing the recordings is blank and stays that way for 5-10 minutes then magically appears and I can go to a recording. Later after watching that program and go back to recording list, it happens again. Also, it periodically disconnects the basement from the home network.

This has gone on for perhaps a week.  

I've reset the Gemini in the LR where this happens at least 4 times and nothing appears to improve.

Do you have directv stream or DIRECTV satellite service? Has this been an issue in the past, and have there been any recent changes to the setup?

Try also resetting your main Genie DVR.

In most cases aligning the dish will minimize rain fade.

If your connection between the Gemini and the Genie 2 is not good that could explain it.

You can go into the settings menu for the Genie 2 and see if the signal between the WVB's is good.

This is happening on the Genie, my only Genie on our main flat panel in the LR. I have re-set the Genie no less than 4 times to no affect. Still takes forever to pull up the list of recordings.

As for the dish, it was set up and aligned by DirecTV tech. We only lose signal in severe storms.

I'm a bit confused, your first post says "Gemini in the LR", your last post says "Genie on our main flat panel in the LR"

So, Genie 2 tower in the basement right?

What client do you have in the LR, is it a "Genie Mini", or a "Gemini"...

Model numbers from the boxes help.

Greg no genie in the basement, only the older receiver and recorder. LR has Genie. So you think "Gemini in the LR", your last post says "Genie on our main flat panel in the LR" aren't the same? Really?

yes, Genie is DVR, Genie 2 is server, Gemini is a client (no tuner), so is Genie Mini.

I've listed 4 different pieces of hardware.

So you have a Genie in the basement and Gemini in living room?
