Hopper Remotes and My Harmony

Yes, both hopper and joey can respond to IR but you need to turn it on in the options.

When you get your receivers just go into Remote Setup and turn IR support on and you are all set.

Okay, this is my first post out here, but I want to clarify to just double and triple check what I'm reading. I just ordered an upgrade to my current system (DVR 612, with 2 211's) to a single Hopper and 2 Joey's. The big worry I have is I have a home theater where one of the Joey's will be and in there I have high end URC MX-880 remote that send signals to all devices (Dish Receiver, BluRay Player, Audio Receiver, and XBox 360) via IR codes. All the devices have a little IR extender that sticks to the IR sensor on the corresponding device.Is there an IR sensor on the Joey that I will be able to stick on of these IR senders to? I have to work with the HT installer to program the remote as the URC doesn't allow consumer programming, but I need to know if this is even going to be possible.From what I'm reading I will have to turn something on in the Joey, but what I haven't read anywhere yet is where/if there is even an IR sensor on the Joey box itself.Thank you and I apologize if this is somewhere else, I just couldn't find it.

Yes, once you enable IR on the Joey, it should work with your remote once it is programed. This also means there is an IR sensor on the Joey that can be used with the IR extender.

Will the 21.1 remotes work with the Hopper/Joeys? Also, what is the difference between the 21.0 and 21.1 remotes? I need to know which ones to turn back in with my VIP's.
