I have two HR10-250s, and after reading the HR10-250 manual (shame on me!), I have successfully programmed each receiver to recognize its own peanut remote (there are eight possible settings and I changed the remote setting on one HR10-250 from zero and set it to 1 and I changed the remote setting on the other HR10-250 from zero and set it to 2). This fix does not work with my two third party remotes (an old Phillips Pronto and an MX-700), and when I use either one, it sends codes to both receivers and both receivers respond.

From what I have been able to tell here and on RemoteCentral, the two receivers must still respond to both zero and their set number, and the third party remotes must be on zero. Is there a way to change the third party remotes and not send on zero? I intend to set up separate devices on each remote for the two HR10s, but unless I can get each third party remote not to send to "the other" receiver, this won't work.

Any suggestions or workarounds?

Thanks.

It's no problem programming the other remotes to control two separate receivers. All receivers automatically respond to BOTH zero and the receiver number you have selected. So you need to change the IR codes sent by the programmable remote so they have the receiver number (1 or 2) instead of zero. I know that these codes are in the Pronto code files, I assume if you search the MX-700 forum you will find them also.

I've got my MX-700 remote programmed with every Tivo code from 1 thru 9. I had to teach the commands to the MX-700 since most remotes only have the basic (0) code in their library. I do a lot of Tivo upgrades and like to temporarily assign codes to the ones I'm working on so they don't interfere with the four Tivos I have active on my system, which is why I programmed all of the codesets in my universal remote.

Are you saying that I can use the MX Editor to configure the whole code set as TIVO X or TIVO Y? Is so, where in the MX-700 or the editor do you make that assignment? Most of the codes were either learned or pulled from other configuration files...

Thanks.

Strike that last message. I think I found it. My problem was that I had not updated my MX Editor software in two years, and the IR code I was using for the HR10-250 was an old Hughes code from SAT. I now see that there are (new) separate IR codes for DVRs--including some for DirecTV, Hughes, and TIVO with specific code numbers for the HR10-250 and for the TIVO IDs. I presume the code set for the HD10-250 (117) is the "0" code, and I'll try two TIVO IDs....

Thanks

It's been a while since I programmed any codes into my MX-700 but I taught all of the Tivo codes to the remote manually using the original Tivo peanut remote. I just changed the codeset designation on the Tivo remote for each of the nine codesets and transmitted each button press to the MX-700.
