Is it possible to use two Hopper remote controls on one Hopper receiver?

Theoretical limit is 256 remotes. But I think the firmware only supports 8 per Hopper. So 2 is no problem. I personally use 4 since I mirror it throughout my house. The 32.0 model remotes work as well and are quite a bit cheaper on ebay than the 40's. I only have one 40 and the rest are 32's. The 32's are a little tricky to pair since you have to hold them really close to the box.

The directions they send with the remote are a joke. I followed them to the letter and have been unsuccessful in getting the second remote to pair with the receiver, got any suggestions.

All I did was press sys info on the box then press Sat on the remote while holding it near the antenna. If you have a 32, make sure the key is set to 1. I've never seen any written instructions besides the ones on screen.

Thanks for your help it is now paired with the receiver.
