2 HR10-250s with third party remotes

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.
