I am wondering what receivers the RF remote control will work with. I am thinking of adding it to one of mine.

I can't remember for sure, but I thought it was any of the HR series, H series, and R22.

The old H20 needed an antenna on the back, the others have the antenna built in.

The HR20-100's need the external antenna as well...& those are all the RF capable models of receivers

I just programmed my new NFL remote to my H24. I am using my original RF remote with the analog TV in the bedroom that is mirrored to the receiver in the living room.
There is a small antenna included with it. (Not needed on the H24)

I use the RF remote on an R15

Didn't want to spend the money on an antenna so I made my own from coax.

Im pretty sure this is correct.
The HR24's come with RF/IR capable remotes.
All others come with IR.

All of the HRs come with an RF remote but not all of the Hs.

How can you tell if the remote is RF/IR compatible?

Will only certain remote models are RF, but the easiest way is to look for the FCC sticker on back of the RF remote, if it doesn't have one its not a RF remote.
