capability
new set-top box from DirecTV
makes it possible for more
customers to watch 4K Ultra HD
(UHD) programming on nearly any 4K
TV.
The new 4K Genie Mini, which is about
the size of a
paperback
book, offers full
Genie and 4K
capability. This
will expand the
number of customers who
can enjoy 4K movies without the need for a
DirecTV Ready 4K TV. In addition to what is
described as superior picture resolution, the
4K Genie Mini also supports Dolby Digital
Plus audio decoding.
“Customers who want the best picture
quality are creating more demand for 4K,”
said Henry Derovanessian, SVP, consumer
premises engineering, DirecTV. “The new 4K
