I'd like to help but I don't understand your question. What is an attend? Do you mean antenna? Is the remote set to rf or is it still ir?

Are other functions working like channel changing? There is a UHF antenna on the back of most receivers. It is possibly a remote issue. Does it work better right after you put in fresh batteries?

I am running the receiver in RF the functions do work it is hard to make them work wasn't sure if there is suppose to be a separate antenna to help the remote work they are fresh batteries I run a receiver downstairs have a tv down one up seem the remote is hard working both tvs

Your posts are a little hard to understand. I'm guessing English isn't your first language. IIRC, some receivers do use an antenna for rf remotes. Do you have one remote working both tvs?

it sounds like he's running one receiver for two TV's. the 2nd location may be too far away to reliably transmit to the receiver and is looking for a way to boost it. unfortunatly, the only STB with an external rf antenna is the H25.

I was wondering the same thing. I had to double check which forum I was on . Not a bad concept though, inter company tech support then inter company DVRs. I would love to be able to use the Hopper 3 on my Directv account, the best of both worlds.

There was external antennas for older recvrs, maybe the HR10 or 20s, don't remember which, its been a long time, I know I had a recvr that used on at one time.
