Will this work in RF mode with the HR44 genie receiver; I have read that directv changed the RF frequency on the HR44 receiver and therefore may not

I tried, albeit not very hard, to set it to Rf mode, but we use multiple remotes and it was working well. Didn't get it set up the only time I tried.

I am using the RC66RBX on an older HR22 DVR. I have had DirecTV for at least 16 or 17 years in my experience has always been call their service number they will walk you through your problems. Good luck

It connects directly so it is fully integrated. It works as if it were part of the genie

No it is an ir signal not an rf so it needs line of sight, you can try to find an ir eye extender and then mount it up front so the remote will work

If you have the RF base units installed in both viewing areas, each will pick up RF transmissions from either remote if it is within range. You might try taking one of the RF base units out of one viewing area so that it becomes IR (line of sight) only. You may need to do that in both areas to prevent this "crosstalk"---hope this helps....

You need a SWM on your directv dish. I swapped out my older 5LNB on my dish with a new SWM-16. If you have the slimline dish you can just swap out the LNB if you have the older version. You also need a power injector and a "green label" swm splitter. Know that the HR44 counts as 5 satellite inputs so if you have other receivers and only buy a SWM 8 it can cause errors. Yes, it can be used with minis.

Yes it can.i have my directv hr34 genie receiver loaded on this remote all commands work fine.And it can be taught commands manually if you prefer.

Worse case scenario your directv box does not support RF. The good news is the RF remotes can still be set to IR if necessary.

II have a HR44 genie receiver. It would not allow me to to change some of the options that I needed to get my receiver to work

Do you use a base station with rf to ir(do you point the remote to your equipment)? Also, you need the program from urc to troubleshoot/program and i doubt you can get it. If you can't find a local installer i might be able to help.

We use RF. It works great! I didn't choose IR because it needs line of sight to work!

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

It only works with certain DirecTV receivers. Many of the newer ones (especially the HD models) do not pass the TVGOS information. To find out if your receiver passes the information, call DirecTV. Many of the reps don't understand it though, so it may take a few phone calls until you reach someone who does, or is at least willing to ask someone more knowledgeable.You should still be able to set recordings manually and the IR blaster will change the channel on the DirecTV receiver for you.

HR 44, video bridge and mini wireless genie is what I installed. You need the SWM splitter that the main cable from the satellite plugs into. From there, one cable goes to the video bridge and another to the HR44. The wireless mini genie will connect to that. DTV tech support helped me configure the system and it works perfectly. The range for the signal is outstanding.

Try asking your question at http://www.dbstalk.com/forum/54-directv-installationmdu-discussion/ I think you may need to provide some more details. Good luck!

I do not have a genie, but I searched the directv site and the answer is yes. They have simple instructions at the web site.

This doesn't have an RF remote right? I'm not a fan of the RF remote. My Harmony remote does only iR and it works at extreme angles. People who have RF remotes seem to be happy with only RF. I only need my remote to work while I'm sitting in front of the TV.Still trying to find if users will be able to install the Popbox software onto their PH A-200 and C-200 units. The original statement seemed to sound like you can, but I haven't seen any proof.

I'm not sure what a DirecTV Genie client is, but if it hooks up via HDMI, and your Bluray is also HDMI, then I can't see any reason this wouldn't work for you. It will even switch back and forth between devices as you turn one off and turn on the other.. I have two of these splitters and they work great!

If a receiver hasn't previously been activated on an account, and your account is in good standing it should be able to be activated on your account as long as you don't already have a genie. Directv will only allow one genie per account. Also, you need to have a swm system with no more than 3 tuners already on it. Otherwise, you will need a swm 16 switch. I suggest calling Directv before purchasing to make sure you have what you need to activate this receiver.
