Has anyone tried out a 40.0 remote control main buttons including the color buttons on the Hopper 3? Do all or most of them work?

Yes, they all work. 20.0/1 IR also works.
The 40.0 is still the best remote IMO. 52.0 is OK, but can take multiple presses or annoying press and hold for the same functionality. It is smaller, which my says she likes, but she always seems to grab the 40.0.

yes - it's because of those color buttons that I tend to keep falling back to the old 40.0 - there are a number of single-button functions that I tend to use quite a bit. Red/Green/Yellow/Blue do what they did before and just as well.
The H3 can tell which remote you are using and all buttons are useable on each version of remote.
It even puts the colored buttons on the screen when using the 40.0
that is a nice feature - if I hit "cancel" a "status" screen of sorts pops up, showing in the lower right corner: (red) Options, (green) CC, and (blue) APPS. There are "context" examples too - any screen that has options available will show the appropriate color along with the function.
My H3 was installed today, funny thing was this guy has 9 yrs. installing and said I could no way have my 40.0 and 52.0 hooked up at same time, well he now knows that they can.
Everything works fine with the 40.0

Gotta love when we can teach the veterans!
Besides the remote issue, he left the H3 where if I hit the Sat button, it changes my AVR from Dish to BR Player
