I Did NOT know this - can you answer a couple other questions related to this, please:
- Does the Tivo "peanut" remote do RF, or is there (an optional) one made that does? If not, can you use one of the white RF remotes to achieve RF control then?
The included tivo peanut remote is RF, and yes you can use older white RF remotes.
- Are there multiple remote codes (that work on both IR & RF) to choose from, like there were on the old D* Tivo's?
The new tivo peanut remotes use the same 8 IR codesets as previous receivers. And it uses the RID to allow independent control of multiple RF receivers without conflicts.
As long as you don't turn the RF on through the menu, a tivo will accept both IR & RF via these instructions on the remote themselves:
1. press and hold Tivo & Stop until the light remains on, release
2. enter the last 6 digits of the Receiver ID#(RID), found a sticker in the access card compartment
If you ever want to switch it back to IR mode:
1. press and hold Tivo & Pause until light remains on, release
2. press #1 key, or whichever between 1-8 that matches the receivers address.
If you have White Directv RF remote, and want it married to your receiver do the following:
1. dtv, av1, or av2
2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT, wait for two blinks, release
3. enter 0 0 0 0 1
4. press and hold MUTE & SELECT, wait for two blinks, release
5. enter 9 6 1
6. press CH UP
7. enter last 6 digits of Receiver ID #(RID), found on a sticker in the access card compartment
8. press SELECT
