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).
Well anything Genie is the latest line of equipment. What exactly are you looking for with "updated"? Are you looking for any new features or have any issues with your current boxes? Also what model are each of your boxes?
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?
Your HR54 is the 3rd generation Genie receiver. You are good there. If you wanted to access the very small set of 4K content, then you could do an upgrade of one of your Mini Genie Clients which would get the C61K. Otherwise keep as is.
Though personally if you could find one available, I would replace a Client with an HDDVR (i.e. HR24) to get more tuners, recording space, and one less box reliant on the main one to work.

The Gemini receiver is slower than the C61K and requires a bit of extra care to work smoothly. I’d wait it out.
@Antbarby2013
Your equipment is more than capable, no need to worry about upgrading to an HS17.
