Today I set up the HR20 on my Slingbox, and it works well. The only thing that came up was that there was no HR20 in the device selection setup screens. I ended up using the DirecTV R15 and it worked out well. All of the buttons including, "Active" and colored buttons work well. You actually get the DTV remote, minus audio related buttons. All of the time slip buttons function properly as well.

I was also surprised to see that there was a "Format" button. I don't have an R15, but I thought from other posts that the R15 was a non HD box. "Format" allowed me to change resolutions.

Please note: Since the Slingbox has infrared wands, you cannot use the remote in RF mode. I really prefer RF, but this is a small price to pay for the ability to sling content from this box.

5 LNB dish will be installed tomorrow. :)
 
The Format button is part of the standard RC23/RC24/RC32/RC32RF code set.

But I think the first one was the H20 (for slingbox), and it would have used the RF.
Wouldn't be surprised if they just copied the H20 code set, and named it R15
