You cannot connect your laptop to a DirecTV Genie receiver using HDMI to watch programming. Laptops typically have HDMI output ports, not input ports, which prevents them from receiving video signals from the Genie receiver. Instead, you can watch DirecTV by logging into DirecTV Everywhere on your laptop.

To complete the installation of a new DirecTV Genie and Genie Mini clients:

1. Connect the Genie HD DVR to your existing dish and wiring.
2. For wireless Genie Minis:
- Place the Wireless Video Bridge (WVB) in a central location, such as a media closet.
- Power on the Wireless Genie Mini in the desired room.
- When prompted, enter the PIN shown on the main Genie DVR.
- On the Genie DVR, select “Add new location,” then select “DONE.”
- If a software update appears, complete it.
3. For wired Genie Minis (like C51):
- Connect the Mini to the Genie DVR using coax.
- Follow on-screen setup instructions.

A flashing red LED or gray screen on the Mini during setup is normal. A temporary signal interruption may also occur.
