Thanks...I think I'm going to bail and go with a Harmony 900. For the time I spend programming this MX-900 to get it just the way I want it, only to have it botch the DVR commands all the time...it's just not worth it.
Try harder... it works fine. I program this setup (with other URC remotes as well) all the time and it's not that hard.
Take your MRF-350 and turn down the pot the Sat emitter is plugged in to. In programming make sure you are using codeset 173 for DTV. Place emitter in front of sensor on DTV box and have it hang slightly. Make sure in programming you have the RF routing correctly set and the RFID set to anything other than 0. Done!
FYI.... it's not the remote that has issues. It's finding the sweat spot on the DTV box to place the emitter!!! Harmony will not help here.
