Pairing Remotes with Hopper3

[TomCarl]

I have 2 remotes that I paired with Hopper3 (my wife each have on so we can stop the recorded shows for something we find interesting). Worked well for years. One remote broke a few years ago and we replaced and paired the new one. No problem doing that. A few months ago the other one broke. Purchased a new one but could not pair it. I thought it might have been bad so we purchased another. Same thing, we can get them both to control the tv but not the hopper 3. Could it be that something is wrong with my Hopper 3?

I speculate that there is a limit of 3 remotes that can be paired. Does anybody know definitively if that is the case? I have had zero remote failures, so I haven't run into this issue yet. I do have a 40 and a 54 both paired to my H3.

The limit is 8 remotes paired and I just checked, I currently have 7.

I have 8 remotes paired to one of my Hopper 3s. Three 54.0s & five 40.0s.

The remotes that I purchased do control the tv but they do not control the Hopper3.

Press Home twice then select settings. Select remote then turn off limited mode.
