New remotes and programming question

[stimpson]

With my Samsung TV programmed into the 722 remote, I was able to set a sleep timmer by selecting the TV button, then pust the format button to cycle through the times. I can't seem to do this with the Hopper remote. I went through all 35 selections in the remote manager. I tried to use a code from the older remote and it wouldn't accdept it. Is this even possible with the new remotes?

Did you try turning off the 'Limited' mode option on the Remote screen?

 

[stimpson]

Yes.

Have you tried to teach the remote the sleep timer key from your old remote?

I was able to teach mine from a small HDMI switch remote.

Didn't know you could "teach" a Hopper remote.

Yep. See Hopper Spec Sheet...

Where can I find the steps to do this?

Instructions are in your old 722k manual. Or download THESE instructions for a 20.0 remote.

I just followed the on-screen instructions.

There are on-screen instructions for learning? I see code entry on-screen but not the learning procedure. How do you get to that screen?

Well, I'm at work, but I think it was something like:

Menu --> Settings --> Remotes --> select the mode (tv, dvr, aux) --> Learn --> select add code to existing or blank out everything --> Learning screen with instructions (even artwork to show you how to point them at each other!)

I'll double check this when I get home and update with the correct wording.

Found it. I will try it later after the youngens are in bed. Thanks for the help.

Okay so I had the same issue with a Samsung remote (looking for the sleep timer). I found this thread and followed the steps for it to "learn" that function. It learned it on that one key but then knocked out all the other functionality of the remote controlling the TV (such as On/Off). Did I miss a step or do something wrong?

When you do the learning function, there should be an option to add a command to the existing remote functions. There's also an option to start from a blank slate (wiping out the remote code). Make sure to pick the first one

That makes sense. I'll try it in the morning. Too tired from playing with my new system.

Sounds good

That worked but I did notice something odd. Once I had it learn an additional key it no longer gave me the floating screen warning me that I was off of the satellite input even thought that was still enabled. Not a big deal but I did think that was odd.
