I'm sorry. Yes mine did come with the 54.0 remote. That was one of the questions that I asked in pre-order that they were so helpful with.
I wanted to go back and post the picture that I just saw when I grabbed this link that had the H3 with the remote sitting on top. So I clicked on the link that I posted and there is a different picture there now "Without" showing the remote AND no mention of it in the descriptions. I'd think that was strange, but in the DISH World I'm not surprised . . . .
I'd call and ask . . . Plus they all price match, don't they?!
