I have the MX-3000 and I'm trying to program it for the new HD Direct TV (Model H20) box and I'm guessing because it is sending RF vs IR that's why I'm not figuring this out. How can I program this device? I do have the RF box (MF-250) for the MX-3000 that I haven't configure yet as I was waiting until I make sure all my devices are in the MX-3000 correct first.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You don't need to learn the codes. You do need to enable IR on the box, but the commands in the data base are proven.

Thank you for the advice. Is there a external switch or is it in the software?

So I made the switch from RF to IR and now the problem is the remote is working the DVR/regular reciever. Any suggestions? I have both a HD receiver and regualar reciever.

The receiver has a setting for codes grou[p 1 or group 2. Its the setting at the top of the remote.

Switch either receiver to AV1/AV2 address, see this post.

I thought those were for programming other devices. Any further info on how a different IR can be acheived would be great. I'm going to also look at the manual and see if anything is in there.

You have an RF base, program separate IR ports and don't use the IR blaster
