What is required to install a C61K with a HR54

I am wondering what it takes to add a C61K Genie Mini connected to one TV to a system that uses a HR54 receiver connected to another TV.

Let me try again. I have an HR54/700 GENIE main unit that I am trying to add a unit on another TV (non 4K) wireless. I thought there was a way to do it.

You just need a SWM splitter with individual coaxial connections to the C61K and HR54. Then, activate the C61K on your account (if it hasn't been already, this costs an additional $7/mo for the TV access fee). Then, on the HR54, go to Menu, Settings, Whole-Home, Clients, and Add Clients. The code displayed on your HR54 should be put in on the C61K. From there on, follow the steps on your C61K to get it set up with the HR54.

Thank you. NOT for 4K TV.

This installation is NOT for 4K. Also, I thought there was a wireless way that they could be installed.

The C61K/C71WK minis are the only ones that output 4K.  You would need a C61W and a WVB (Wireless Video Bridge) connected by coax to the SWM splitter to wireless connect to the HR54.

We have told you. You need a C61W mini and a WVB connected to the SWM splitter.
