i wonder if it is JUST a software setting that stops the capability? if so maybe they will roll out a fix later on, maybe they don't even realize the demand for it.

That's why I suggested that an email may help to get it back. I am pretty sure I read it disappeared after a software update a while ago.

Don't think the new HR2x/H2x units ever had the capability. It has always been one or the other.. I have had my HR20-700 since they first came out.. And it has always made me mad that I couldn't do IR/RF at the same time..
