expressvu remote for E*

[mjc242]

I just ordered a 5800 bell expressvu receiver. I currently have an E* 501 in my den and is wired into the bedroom. I also have an E* 508 in my living room where the 5800 is going. I want to be able to use one remote to control both E* and expressvu in the living room and use the other two remotes for the 501 that I use for 2 rooms. Is this possible? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you are willing to spend $300.00 I recommend you go check out Harmony Remotes at http://www.harmonyremotes.com .

There is no better and no easier remote to use on the planet. It is all configured through your computer and the Internet. The 5800 is in their database. You select your devices, tell what activity you want to do with them and Wham! The remote is programmed with a simple command label like Watch PVR. Select that and it will turn on all the equipment and even put it on the channel you want it to turn on already changed to if you program it that way.

Awesome!
