I was using two RC34 remotes to control one HR20-700 using RF. I have the HR20 feeding into two rooms. I recently had to swap out the HR20 and received the "new" dvr but it came with a RC64r remote, so I set up everything with the RC64r remote. Now my extra RC34 remote (that i leave in the other room) will not control the HR20. Is there some way I can fix this or are the RC64r remotes not compatible with RC34 remotes?

Yes it's very "simple". Your RC 34 is still coded to your old receiver.
If you leave your RC64R alone and reprogram the RC 34 to your new receiver it will work.
The easiest way would be to use the front panel buttons to navigate into the remote setup menu. Then set the DVR and your RC 34 back to IR mode. Next would be to change them back to RF mode. This now will have the DVR in RF, the RC 34 in RF and the RC 64R will already have been coded to work, so you should be set.

I should have figured that out, Worked perfect, thanks for your help!
