Multiple Remote 40.0 on same H3 receiver?

[gasman882001]

Currently have 2 remotes paired with my H3 Hopper. One is a 40.0 and one is 52.0. Is there a way to add a second 40.0 for a total of 3 remotes on the same H3 Hopper? Tried last night but the "pairing" button on the remote would not start the pairing process.

thanks!

I do not know why that shouldn't work.

If someone does not answer before I get home I try it I will. I do know you can as I have two 40's

You can pair up to eight remotes on your Hopper. Any combo 54.0, 52.0, 50.0, and 40.0.

Also can pair up to eight on a Joey.

Was this remote paired to a different receiver at any point in time?

Was sealed in the package ordered. Will try again but pairing button did not work the first time so was wondering.

Pairing button? Simply go to the diagnostic screen, Menu Menu with a working remote and press Sat on the 40 remote.

is there a way to factory reset the remote? May be the issue.

There is no factory reset procedure for the remote.
Try this method to Unpair 40.0 Remote Control:
1. Press and hold the SAT mode button until all mode buttons light up
2. Press and hold RECALL and 0 at the same time for 3 seconds
3. Press SEARCH
4. Press VOL +
5. Press STOP
If successful, you will hear three descending tones.

Yes, the 40.0 remote has a button labeled "Pair", I don't think it ever worked to pair. Pressing the "SAT" button has always worked to pair.

I keep an old 1.5 remote laying around for precisely this purpose. It has a Sys Info button. Only one button press to get the diagnostic screen, instead of multiple presses with newer remotes.
