Harmony ONE Remote Whole House with DirecTV HR 22 DVR
I too am using a old modulator on my HR22-100 to supply a signals to three other LCD TVs and my computer, but ran into another issue that I have now resolved using the new fantastic Harmony ONE remote, I purchased . You can set the HR22 DVR up to use IR or RF commands for your remotes but not both.
I had purchased from D* their RC64 RC remote that worked through the house. Well when I bought the Harmony One Remote it only uses IR commands and I had to reset the DVR back to IR from RF and used the original RC64RB to even program this new remote. Got everything working just fine and Logitech/Harmony told me I could not use their remote only as IR, but how was I to control "Whole House"?
I have a bunch of old stuff around too, and by using an old X-10 Powermid (model PM5900) I found I could use the original IR D* remote if I had transmitter in each location. WOW! Got "On-Line" and found additional transmitters (RE549) are still available, but are few and far to be had. I order two more so I can at least have the TVs covered. Could always move to computer room if needed. Something old is new again. These things look like little black pyramids that plug into a wall plug and the base receiver has an antenna on it. Anyone remember them?
Anyway I also have DISH using a VIP-622 DVR and there are no issues using them since they come with two remotes (one IR & one RF) and even an additional coax output.
I highly recommend this new Harmony ONE Remote and with this old/new set up I can still control other locations.
Please NOTE: I have copied this posting from another Form that was in discussion on how to distribute signals to other set from a HR22-100 DVR and thought someone here might benefit from my experience if they purchase a new Harmony ONE Remote.
