I used to have a cable dvr system that really sucked. The one feature I really loved though and wish the HR20 had, was the ability to turn off my TV, IRD, & stereo amplifier all with the push of one button (and turn them all on with the same button).

I know I can turn off the TV and IRD at the same time with the push of a button, is there any way to add one more item to the list? I do have the stereo amplifier programmed to AV1, but it kind of sucks having to switch to the AV1 to switch off the stereo. Call me lazy, but it was convenient.

It's not possible with the DirecTV Remote. But there are lots of choices of Universal Remotes that would let you do this.

Get a Harmony remote. I have two and love them both.

If you or someone you know has a Sams Club membership and there is one close by, you might see if they have the Harmony 628 (about 50.00) or the next model up at $99.00. I have the 628 and LOVE IT. Controls every device I have in my HT perfectly.

I'm a gadget freak so the Harmony I got yesterday (880) is almost as entertaining as the new TV, HR20 and Yamaha AV receiver it's controlling.
