    DirecTV Remote is Awful

    Harmony 700 works awesome (had it for about 5 years), almost all of my components have been replaced during that time and all were really easy to change through Windows program, well worth the money.

    D* Wireless Adapter

    My distance was too complicated too. I set up a wireless bridge with an old G speed linksys that I had laying around and it works great with HD. Plus I have my BluRay hooked to it also.

    MRV Question

    I understand that multiple DVR's can be networked together to utilize MRV. But can you network an H20(non-DVR) and a HR20(DVR) to view the HR20's recorded content on the H20? I believe the answer is no... Thanks! Ace
