the remote works in the room with the dvr, won't work when in another room. I can't find any "custom setting" to change from IR to RF. dvr is R22

Did you go to advanced settings from the program remote option in the settings menu? Menu, Settings & Help, Settings, Remote Control, Program Remote, Advanced, IR/RF Setup, Remote Type

You have to go to the setup menu on the satellite box and change from IR to RF.

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....

I ended up buying a different model (HP MCE Remote w/IR transceiver). It does not do what you want, and I doubt that any will. I agree with the comment from Lester Barraatt, that this would require BIOS level settings, and accompanying driver software functionality.

I do not have that problem. My remote controls the device from across the room, which is probably 15 feet, without any difficulty. Sounds like the device or remote is faulty that Barb W. has.

Works with my DirecTV/DVR. No reason it won't work with yours. It should work to convert any infra-red signal remote to RF.

Yes, but you won't be able to us the IR remote, you'll have to use the RF remote. Also, the control box is attached to the power cord so you'll have to install an AC outlet behind the drywall to plug it in.

You need to make sure you have set up the Infra-red (IR) receiver sensor (rx) in the "other" room and the transmitter (tx) in the room with direct tv receiver, just in front of the receptor which picks up the IR signal from your remote control. The rx and tx sensors look like red translucent gummies on the end of thin wires. The wires plug into the back of each box. The rx one has a green plug to avoid mixing them up. When you point the remote at the rx sensor it will relay the IR signal to the tx side which will send the instructions from control to the box, allowing you to change channels.

Was remote designed for RI? and RF? Radio Frequency should nor be interfered with the base? my technician just came over and I have asked him.

You can program it to use anything with IR. I have it using stereo, radio, and my TV. Best remote I ever bought!!!!

Yes, I have 2 separate strips controlled by one rf remote. I wish the remote/receivers could be paired together because I'd like to use other remotes in other parts of the house!

If you are asking about the dvr that I found on google images, I am pretty sure it will work as long as you have an IR box that uses 12V DC to power the IR receiver. A problem would be if you have an IR repeater box that runs 5V DC to the IR receiver, in that case it will not work. An IR repeater system works like this: IR receiver (receives the signal from your remote, this is the amazon product you are asking about) --&gt; IR repeater box (grabs the signal from the receiver and sends it to the emitter) --&gt; IR emitter (sends the signal to your device. You stick this emitter to the IR "eye" on the front of your dvr, blu-ray player, stereo, TV etc.)

It should work, I have my transmitters linked to the video remote windows and am able to use the IR remote in separate rooms.

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

This IR remote will work either TV1 or TV2 if you have 2 recivers. Of you have 1reciever that wprk 2 rooms, it will not work because TV2 uses UHF Pro. The remote for TV2 on this setup is 21.0 OR/UHF Pro

This comes with a remote infrared unit that you place in front of the device you want to control from the other room. I use it to control my channel input on my DirecTV receiver. You have to be sure and place it very close to the infrared receiver on your DVR in order for it to work properly. I bought two sets of these things and they work great!

You can set on random , were it changes automatically. Or pick a color you like. There ir signal so you have to point remote control at it . There are others that use rf signal. They cost more. An I haven't tried them yet

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.
