I don't think anyone cares but I will update anyway.

I was able to get the CCP software and it was indeed loads better than the 980 editor software. Pretty sure that I was having some glitches due to the Win 7 64 bit issue I had seen mentioned.

I have everything mostly up and running and I'm pretty happy with it.

I have each of my Dtv receivers set up and working independently on IR (2 of which I had to use the IR Learn functionality for - thanks Edmund). I have a macro set up for turning the entire system on and another for turning the entire system off.

My only real outstanding items at this point are customizations for graphics/templates/wallpapers and setting up favorites for channels on each of the respective Dtv pages.

If anyone has any suggestions in regards to those items I'd love to hear them. Thanks!
