I just got two receivers from Directv and I'm trying to program my MX-700 to turn them on and off independently. They appear to listen to the same on/off signals. Is there a means to have discrete on/off codes that are different for these two boxes. As things stand now, if both units are off, and I press the ON button, both units will turn on. The opposite is true, if I press the Off button when both units are ON.

My concern is that when I have both units on, if I press the guide button on the HDDVR, I can see a button flash on the H20 also. It appears the only way for me to NOT have the other receiver listen to the commands from the remote is to physically turn the other unit off.

You can switch either the Hr20 or the H20 to altrernate address. The alternate address is different for each of those models of receiver. The addresses for the Hr20 are 00001 & 00003, where H20 addresses are 00001 & 00002. Even after you switch one of the receivers, the blue light on the front of each receiver will respond to both remotes, but the receiver itself won't.

To switch receiver & oem remote see this thread:

BTW, the codes for both addresses are in the IR database.

Good, but they're useless without receiver being switched to the alternate address.

That's why I mentioned it after your post, as it would be the next step. ;-)

As edmund mentioned there are 3 codesets, 00001, 00002 & 00003. The IR code database on my MX-3000 editor is v1.80 and has only:

HR20 setup number 173 (00001)
HR20 (ID2) setup number 193 (00002)

I need 00003 and maybe it's there and I need a database update. It should look something like this:
HR20 (ID3) setup number ????

Can you please check the most recent database?

Thanks
