You will need two things: A Blackmagic Studio Mini and an HDMI splitter that drops the stupid HDCP crap. Links:

​
You will also need the cabling (obviously) but the Blackmagic software is free and pretty decent. Once you have the thing connected to your computer, you should be seeing everything from the DVR, so just play the file. You can only record in realtime AND you will likely have to re-sync the audio to the video b/c at least in my case there is about a 1/2 to 3/4 second delay on the video stream but recording everything into one huge file allows you to resync just once and then you can edit everything to what you want.
I have used this HDMI splitter for a couple of months to split the single from 1080p security cameras to two monitors and it works perfectly.

In your opinion (or what difference would it make) to have the the wiring setup like I do, which is very much like your first diagram above, or just use the line feeding the genies and put a simple 1-to2 SWM spllitter?
Thinking of getting a few 3rd gen DECAs and some a few splitters to give that a try. Most likely will still use the power connection instead of USB as I've read the UBS is finicky if they work or not and already have power for them.
Are the 3rd gen versions the same except offering USB power option?
For companies using Surveys and NPS scores (net promoter scores), Gaming the system is a HUGE no-no. Telling someone to give them all 10's is frowned upon, and in certain cases, companies who have implemented this system have fired people for doing this.

You need an HDMI splitter that supports DHCP.
It's this stupid copyright protection that gets added to technology, that doesn't ever stop any "hackers", but messes up normal peoples stuff.
FYI there are different levels of HDCP. I think it has to be greater than 2.1 to work with dtv, but I'm not sure.
The best thing to do would be to take the splitter out of the picture, use the HDMI for 1 run, and use this cable for the other one.
EDIT: u/WTtoolman has informed me that this might not be the case anymore. As in, it worked for years, but doesn't anymore without the HDMI connected TV being on. I'm going to do some tests tomorrow. If anyone can chime in on this scenario, please do.
yes, but some use a 10-pin solution where there is one 10-pin port on the genie and the cable branches out to be AV Cables. This is on all genie minis and the HR54. Here is what they look like.
Just the reg. DTV skill.
The ratings are pretty lousy (which I don't really understand because my experience with it has been pretty flawless).
You should be able to just split the cable with a splitter. It will need to be a SWM splitter. If you have 4 boxes already, I have to assume you already have a splitter somewhere in your house. I would just run your cable to there if possible and switch the cable back and forth when you move the box. Otherwise yes, you should be able to just split at one box to go to another location. The only thing you would have to worry about is where the power insterter is for your dish, and to make sure it's always connected through the power-passing ports on the way to the dish.
Short answer, probably not.
Long answer, they would have had to update your system to a SWM system to be able to install a Genie. The Genie won't work on the old, multi-line system. I am 99% sure that they old Samsung TIVO's will NOT work on a SWM system.
You might be able to get a non SWM LNB and switch it out for the one currently on your dish. You would need two lines from your dish to your DVR. You would setup the DVR as a 18" round dish. It wouldn't get local channels or anything in HD.
Are you getting rid of the new boxes entirely? You said something about them offering you an SD box? I thought I read something about DirecTV not offering SD boxes anymore. The H25 (the newest HD non-recording box) will not work on anything but a SWM system.
Use the coax wiring in your house to let the DirecTV main HD-DVR/Genie talk to the Genie Clients, Don't use Ethernet at all to directly plug into a DVR or client - have ONE broadband adapter coming off your DirecTV termination point be your connection to Ethernet [example: https://www.amazon.com/DIRECTV-Broadband-Ethernet-DECABB1MR0-Generation/dp/B004HAOWLW] (you will have a SWM adapter like this: http://pimages.solidsignal.com/SWM-8_zoom.jpg) - plug into one of the open boards the broadband adapter - the entire network on the DirecTV coax side should then get Internet access for on demand
Yep, the filter is $4.40 on Amazon prime here: DECA BSFR0-01 Band Stop Filter for DirecTv https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005051UWC/
HDMI cable from DirecTV box IN to this:

Two HDMI cables OUT from that, one to your TV, one to this:
https://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Capture-PlayStation-Nintendo-gameplay/dp/B00MIQ40JQ/
Connect that to your computer and record.
I've never used tvfool. How about this indoor/outdoor antenna? http://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-C2-V-CJM-ClearStream-Outdoor/dp/B007RH5GZI
Could be a problem with the HDCP handshake. You could try running it through an HDMI splitter like this which will give the directv box a consistent HDCP handshake.
Would I use this to split the cable before putting the DECA unit in? It does not look like the DECAs can be in-line.
No need to put any holes in your walls. Try out a Powerline Ethernet kit.

I've heard mixed reviews from customers (Some claiming it was a waste of money and time, others saying it stopped them from losing signal). I think a lot of it has to do with the snow you get in the area as well though, where I'm at we do get some really wet, heavy snow that just sticks to EVERYTHING, then builds up... other areas get dry, light snow that doesn't like to stick to anything that says go away. YMMV.
My recommendations:
I live near Lake Tahoe and have a dish heater on my dish (Granted, it's 40' in the air so I'm not climbing up to it to sweep it) and it's just easier and looks fine. When I move I'm leaving it for the next tenant to use. It's the price we pay to live in a snowy area.
Not with my splitter, either tv would work regardless if the other was off. This is the splitter I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CUMJRLY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4JF8Bb3DF8KNQ
For this particular splitter I don’t recall any specific instructions regarding what to turn off or unplug in what order. It probably wouldn’t hurt to turn off your sources while plugging in everything.
