Can the new RC64Rb backlit remote control be programmed to operate an (old) R-10 DVR?

Paul D318 · 10-21-2008, 10:19 AM

Recently I called D* to get them to send me the AM-21 OTA receiver that they had neglected to send me (as promised) along with my new HR-21 HD-DVR: for some reason the service rep mistakenly sent me the RC64RB backlit remote (which is also RF-capable, I believe).

As I'm currently using a Harmony 880 universal remote for the main HDTV in the living room, I really don't need to use the RC64RB in there. It would be really nice to be able to use it to control the older Tivo-based R-10 receiver in my bedroom with it, though.

Does anyone know if it can be programmed to operate the R-10, and if so - how?

Thanks in advance - Paul

Anybody?

It sure would be nice to be able to use the backlit remote in the bedroom, as I usually watch "The Tonight Show" (with the room lights off) before I go to sleep. The Tivo remote that came with the R-10 is a pain, as its' shape make it hard to know which way is up in the dark. And since the button layout is totally different from the non-Tivo remotes, so I have a hard time remembering where they all are.

Anybody?

Thanks - Paul
