Before proceeding, please make sure your replacement Genie HD DVR is installed and turned on.
Go to the Genie HD DVR to begin the Add a Client guided setup.
On your remote, press MENU , select Settings > Whole-Home > Manage Client > Add Clients.
Note the 4-digit PIN that displays on the replacement HD DVR’s TV screen—you will need to enter it on the TV at your Genie Mini location. Do not dismiss the screen at your replacement Genie HD DVR location until the setup of the Genie Mini is complete.
Now go to the Genie Mini location and enter the PIN you noted in Step 3.
Then select Add a New Location. (Note: You need to do this again, even though the location may have been previously set up.)
Next, enter a custom name for the location and select Save Name.
A confirmation message will appear, select OK.
You now have two options for applying your Genie Mini settings:
a. Select DON’T COPY to apply default DIRECTV settings to the Genie Mini you just set up. Then select “Watch DIRECTV” or “Browse the Guide” to complete the guided setup.
b. Select COPY to mirror the settings from an existing Genie/Genie Mini setup in your home. Next, select the location where you wish to copy the settings from. Then select “Watch DIRECTV” or “Browse the Guide” to complete the guided setup.
Return to the Genie HD DVR and select Done on the Add a Client screen.
