HR44 UHF remote compatibility

[skyviewmark]

Just got my 1st HR44 today. Are there any of the older white face type of DirecTV remotes that will work with the HR44 in UHF mode. I really hate that little peanut remote. I have 3 TV's hooked to the HR44 and I need UHF at each TV all working the 1 HR44 unit. Please tell me I am not stuck with that POS peanut remote. I am a dealer and a technician, so I will understand the technical side. I have 2 RC65RBX remotes that don't appear to work the HR44, but they will work my HR24 in UHF mode. So I am guessing it is just not UHF compatible with the HR44. Any help on this from the tech folks out here? Thanks in Advance

HR44 and RC71 run under a different RF Standard than the white remotes. Same with C41's and the RC71
Only RC71's (the peanut remote) will work in RF.

Only the RC71 will work in RF mode, all the remotes will work only in IR mode.

Well that sucks.. Seems like an oversight on DirecTV. The small remote is just to small and doesn't do everything the older whiteface does. And if I remember correctly IR and UHF can't be mixed so it's one or the other. Since my 3 TV's are in different rooms, I have to have all UHF.. So I guess I will have to use those baby remotes. I was sure hopeful that some of the older remotes would work in UHF.. Thanks for the quick answers.

The HR44 allows for both IR and RF remotes to be used at the same time.

Well that's something different from the old Units.. Thanks again

The white remotes do rf and ir at the same time. You can control the Directv box in rf and your tv or a/v receiver volume in ir.
