OK, so it’s not your last chance. But it’s your last chance to get what you’ll need to get DIRECTV’s first ever 4K live broadcasts of the Masters on April 7. Here’s what you’ll need: DIRECTV…
You’ll need an HR54 Genie. This tip came to our forums a few weeks ago but it’s taken a while to confirm. It is true, if you want 4K service from DIRECTV and you don’t already have…
Well, you can’t, not yet. DIRECTV’s 4K broadcasts full-time will probably start in April, 2016. We do know for sure that the Masters tournament will be broadcast in 4K, but DIRECTV hasn’t announced when the…
Because you still can’t use Wi-Fi. Last year I talked about how you can’t connect a DIRECTV-ready TV using Wi-Fi. Nothing much has changed in that department unfortunately even though I did present two very good options…

This is the DIRECTV C61K Genie Mini Client. If you want to watch DIRECTV’s 4K pay-per-view programs, you’ll need it, or you’ll need a DIRECTV 4K-ready TV. You’ll need a Genie DVR, too, but it doesn’t have…
