If you’re thinking of a DIRECTV upgrade, then you’re probably planning an upgrade to DIRECTV HD or 4K programming.  Unless your DIRECTV system is less than five years old, you probably can’t simply purchase one of DIRECTV’s newest receivers then swap out your previous-generation equipment.  You’ll need a DIRECTV upgrade to Single-Wire Multiswitch (SWM) technology.  Why?  Because this technology is required for all DIRECTV upgrades, which includes a DIRECTV upgrade to HD or 4K Ultra HD.

Do you want to upgrade your DIRECTV experience?  You do that by replacing it with DIRECTV’s Genie satellite receiver and DVR.  This equipment is light years ahead of your previous-generation hardware.  How does Genie technology compare to your DIRECTV DVR?  Here are some of the things that you only can do with a DIRECTV Genie:

  • Record five programs at the same time
  • Record up to 200 hours of HD
  • Watch TV in other rooms without DVRs to easily pause live TV or watch on-demand content
  • Use smart TVs or wireless clients instead of large, clunky receivers
  • Use tiny, silent DIRECTV clients that save energy

 You can’t do any of these things with your older DIRECTV DVR equipment, which is why you should upgrade to DIRECTV Genie today.  Did we mention that DIRECTV is phasing out its older DVR equipment?  Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.  Get ahead of the game by upgrading to DIRECTV Genie today!

We get this question a lot.  People usually ask us this after they hear about the costs involved with a DIRECTV Genie upgrade.  We don’t blame you if the thought crossed your mind.  The reality is that some viewers are able to get a DIRECTV Genie upgrade for free, but it’s rare.  To get it, you must be eligible according to DIRECTV’s rules for free hardware.  For example, you have to have the same number of TVs and you’re already paying DIRECTV’s Advanced Receiver Services fee. The best thing to do is give us a call. We can walk you through the process before you make your decision.
