Ended up having to teach it - I forgot how quick and easy it was. Love my Mx-500. :)

For some weird reason, my HTM MX-500 has no codes for DirectTV at all. Anyone know the code for the HD DVR? Thanks

I live in a condo and can't install on the balcony, so the only option for installation is the roof. The condo has a metal bar which is attached to the roof for dishes, but the installer told my wife that the bar cannot support the larger HD dish since it has the arms coming off the sides which...
