Remote IR Code(s) Issue w/3 HR20/H20 Combo; HELP PLEASE !!!

OK....I have a elecrtonics rack with all my components right next to each other.

I just got a third D* Box....this makes one HR20, one H20(100) and now second H20(600). Based on the forum and some trial-n-error awhile back I got the RC24 remote to use slider position for D*logo for HR20 and H20(100) for AV1.....the IR remote codes 00001 and 00002 respectively....has worked no problemo. Well, now I want to put the 3rd box (H20-600) under slider AV2 and program the remote with another code set. I noticed on my first H20(100) it lists a bunch of code sets with the new firmware update.....0001, 00002, 00003, 00004, 00392, 00566, 00639, 01639, 01142, 00247, 00749, 01749, 00724, 00819, 01856....even says "etc." for total of 28 (I cannot see or get to more than the above listed). The new H20(600) only has 0002 but I figure this is since it does not have new firmware load(?). I went ahead and programmed the new H20(600) to AV2 code set 0002...works. I then went to the H20(100) and put the slider on AV1 and did the MUTE+SELECT and put in codes......00003 thru 01856 individually. None, of them work !!!! I then put this on AV2 and tried all of them....none work. The only code that works in AV1 or AV2 is 00002. D* logo slider I think is default 00001 so I can't use that one. Anyway, as a last resort I said....OK let me set on of the H20's to RF...which I did. Well duh, it works but guess what....this changes nothing....the remote codes are still the same and act the same.

So....here is my question........how do the have three D* settops next to each other and program different IR codes into D*, AV1, AV2 slider positions to control each ? There has got to be a way eslse they wouldn't list all the flipping IR code sets.

Earl ?

Thanks.

P.S.: What is the code during RBR to force latest firmware load ?

RBR and at Hello screen hit 02468
I currently have a harmony880 controlling 1hr20-700 and 1hr20-100 same room with different IR codes from this thread http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=79330
I want to add another HR21 can the harmony 880 do this and how? (control the 3 dvr independently)
Are the remote codes for the hr20's the same for hr21's?

Thanks

They will all be in the same room connected to the same tv's.

I looked
I don't think you can control more than two HD tuners with the same remote. Hopefully Edmund, the remote master, might see this post and give you accurate advice.

Bummer, so my only way is to use the rf on the new hr21 remote cotrol?

I was hoping to use just the 880.
Found, I will give this a try http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=75128 post 16. If I can get the 3 remotes to work individually with IR then I can plug in the 3rd hr21 into the harmony button by button.
I am assuming hr20 remote signals are the same for hr21?

I read that post also but I think it is incorrect. For example, enabling RF on the remote DOES disable IR. If it didn't the remote would continue to control the adjacent receiver in IR. I have three DVRs next to each other, and the one using RF (an HR21) DEFINITELY does not affect either of the other two which use IR.
rlgold88/texasbrit..........Here is the final instruction thread:

no, only two HR20s and one H20 or vica versa....anyway not three HR20s. However, this is for all IR....you could have the third RF. Again, look at this thread...Edmund's inspiration.

I see I will not be able to have the 3 hr20/21 in IR (only if it were h20/21). For a second I thought all I had to do is program the new hr21 in the av1 slot and use the 00002 code as I programed the av2 slot with 00003. But I see that they are tied togather. Oh well I will use the RF for the new hr21. Whats another remote anyway! Thanks for clarifying
