from the left menu, then select Manage Clients. Note the PIN shown on the
Manage Clients screen, and do not exit the screen!
On the Client, enter the PIN you received from the Genie HD DVR using the
remote. Select Done on the confirmation screen. The Create a Location
screen displays. You may add a new location, or replace a location. Select
the appropriate option and follow the onscreen instructions.
Once the location has been set up, you have a choice of copying settings
from another location or accepting the DIRECTV defaults.
