You might want to check out DirecTV | Device Code Search which shows all the D* remotes and what code might work.
It works(at least for my TX-SR601).
I already have it. It's too bad tho, that the separate On/Off buttons that turn the TV & HR20 on and off, don't turn the TV and Receiver on/off instead tho. That would make the remote be just right That site didn't initially give me the correct code for the RC64RB, when I type in my Onkyo TX-SR601. It told me code 30135 should work, but only turn the device off and not on. The correct code, that works(on/off/volume) for my receiver is 31805(taken from the manual that came with the remote). It did sho it in the list, when I said the initial code didn't work, however.
FYI, that 31805 code does NOT work on the RC34, that came with the HR20.

Sorry, I was just passing along the link that's on the D* web site for remote codes.
ESPN is shot in 720p just like ABC and FOX I think. Id rather they deliver 720p in 720p. less conversion the better. But as far as 720p being the best for sports thats hogwash. NOTHING comes close to pristine 1080i NFL football on CBS
I disagree ! CBS HD is the worst. Progressive scan can't be beat when it comes to sports. Thats a fact!
Your local must be multicasting. Id suggest you do a poll on CBS HD NFL quality over at AVS so you can see how silly that statement is. FOXHD at 720p will never hold a candle to it. Its very rare that you can make out the individual blades of grass on any NFL football that isnt CBS 1080i. Given proper bandwidth 1080i puts 720p to shame.
The CBSHD West 1080i that dishnetwork had was highbit rate and beat the heck out of the 720p Fox and Espn Football broadcasts imho...
This is why I love my Harmony 880
I actually have a Harmony 676, but I wanted the RC64RB, for the RF.

Well I guess if was able to get any HD locals from E* I could compair them . But since I don't I guess a West coast CBS dosen't do much good for an East coast customer.
Vurbano, did you read all that text that is printed on the plastic envelope that contained your access card for your new receiver?
By opening the envelope and installing the card you entered into a contract with D*.
I too enjoy NFL HD via CBS 1080i a bit better than via FOX 720p. BUT ESPN 720p is a bit better than the FOX; IMHO. So my non-scientific conclusion, with MY HT setup, is that it lies with the production value/quality/care the network adheres to, rather than the particular resolution itself or alone.
I used to get it with D* tv. But now with the DNS rules I can only have Fox 88 But maybe CBS is better now then I remember it . Is it in MPEG 4 yet?
With a static camera, both look good, but at 1080, still shots look really good. For instance, Sunrise Earth looks great since it is all locked-down steadycam. But once the movement starts, I think the 720p holds a slight edge over 1080i. But again, a lot of this boils down to your TV, your reception, your local net's transmission, the lighting at the stadium, the cameraman/woman, producers, etc, etc..
