It does sound like the dvr is the problem. Do you have another receiver/dvr you can try the remote on? BTW, punctuation works wonders.
I went HD in Dec. I have an LED HDTV with a HR24 receiver. Right away I had sporadic function of the new remote. Having 3 other SDtv's hooked up I have 4 RC65 remotes. I tried them all on the new TV and they all were sporadic. I read on DIRECTV's forum on their website that certain LED TV's if just set in the wrong setting will interfere with IR remote signal's. For years I've used the remote control signal senders made by RCA to send remote signals from my 3 bedroom TV's to the receiver. It sends RF signals(converting them to IR) from the cone in the bedroom to the cone by the receiver. All 3 worked perfectly with the new TV. I put a sender in my living room and point my remote at that and I have no more issue's. So either you have to go to a RF remote or a sender that will convert signal's to RF. It must be the LED backlight of your TV interfering with the IR remote signals. The remote control signal sender convert's IR signals to RF signals to be sent from room to room. My sender on the new HDTV in low and right by the receiver so the TV doesn't interfere with it. This works because the sender can be anyplace in the room and the receiver can be low and out of sight (by the receiver)of the TV's backlight.
