Comparison Of Generations - DirecTV GenieGO Gen 1 Installation Manual

DIRECTV GenieGO
TM
Remember, the GenieGO allows customers to take
programs from their HD-DVRs and make them available
on their PCs, MACs or other mobile clients. It does so by
connecting to the customer's broadband-connected or
WiFi-capable home network, a network which has HD-DVRs
included in it.
As part of your professional installation, only PC and Mac
clients will be supported, because, as you know, during the
Out-of-Home Streaming setup, accessing the customer's
router configuration is required.
