DirecTv D12-500 - How many possible IR codes - 3 boxes in one closet - I can only get 2 to work?

[mikewired]

How many possible codes for a DirecTv d12-500? I have 3 d12's in one closet. I have only been able to get one to work in normal mode on one code and one in (AV1 or AV2) mode.

Been a long time since I used a D12, but I know some of the receivers have an advanced setup menu in the remote control setup. In there is options for up to 8 different IR codes. This is a common need for sports bar type environments.

Some of their HD boxes can use all 8 codes, but the D12 can only use 2. Sorry.

I've done it many times.

Are you sure all 4 actually work on a D12? Last time I checked, only 1 and 2 did (LINK). Your screen shot looks like it's from an HD receiver (H21 maybe?), not a D12.

Only two codes with the D12......

That's NOT an HD receiver. Still has the blue and yellow menus. It's for sure an SD box

They have had that screen in the menu under programming the remote for 8 years. Never meant anything when it comes to programming the receiver for alternate codesets. The D12 only has two, 00001 & 00002.
