Has anyone determined if the IR Codes for the new H34 & C31 mini's are the same as the older H series (H20,H23,H24,etc) boxes?

Looking for discrete power codes for the Genie receivers, they are not the same as the standard DirecTV codes. A standard direcTV "on" command toggles the genie power. The Genie remote itself has an on and off but when you use the on command it generates an onscreen message asking you if you want to program the remote to control the TV, no matter how many times you say "no" the message still comes up the next time you use the on command.

cma,
The older remotes won't control audio gear until you program them to control a TV. In fact, I don't think the older remotes send out DirecTV power commands with the buttons at the top right until you program the remote to control a TV; then both DirecTV and TV commands are send out when you push those buttons. The TV that's set up does not need to be of any particular brand, just some TV or other.

Knowing that, let's see if that fact might imply something about the new units. Maybe if you program the new remote to control some TV, the receiver might respond differently?

Otherwise, maybe the remote uses a different couple of commands. Learn them: Program the Genie to control a TV. Turn the receiver on and off a couple of times and see if there's some indication on the remote as to whether it's sending out a TV command or a satellite command. On the old remotes, the LEDs at the top show you clearly that the satellite is switched, then the TV. Use that information to learn from the DirecTV remote, using your hand to cover the remote's LED during the time when the TV signal is being sent. This is old-fashioned workaround stuff, but you might be able to capture the present discrete commands that way.

Of course, edmund is likely to chime in here with a much simpler answer!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

i'm going to have to check my setup at home.  i have the genies controlled with IR for just the power on and off, and IP for the rest.  i know they are always on when they are supposed to be on.  i'm not so sure that they turn off.  i'll check tonight.  maybe directv changed something in the software.

tested on my system tonight, no issues with discrete power on and off using codeset 173 in the URC database.

This is certainly off-topic, but I have a client with an older HR 22/23 that responds very slowly to commands. Is the new Genie more responsive to button pushes? The delays on his old one are incredible.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

I went the genie route for the speed, and it doesn't disappoint.

I have the genie and it is still slow. It acts like when sending a command the unit has to wake up. Once it is woke up, it responds faster. I was told that any dvr from Directtv will respond slow. It is better than it used to be.

Ive heard complaints of slowness, but only online. No issues here.

OK, the D10 codes worked for the Genie discrete on and off.. Not sure why the discrete on/off does not work in the URC Genie and other code sets but they work on non genie receivers..
