Direct TV Universal Remote - Blu-ray Forum

drb124 · 01-10-2008, 10:10 PM

I just got the Direct tv hr21 receiver/dvr, and I want to use its remote to control most of my other components in my system. It works fine other than a couple of bugs that I want to ask about. First, I can't seem to find a button that will bring up the info banner on my sony a2000 tv. Also I am unable to find any way to use the remote to dim any of my displays on my components. Any suggestions?

You should post it in dbstalk.com -- its a forum for OTA, D* and Dish

The remote only controls basic things like volume, power and mute on my Sony receiver, so I'm guessing it won't be much better for a TV.

I understand the Harmony 880 universal remote may be the ticket if you can afford to get one. I may get the 890 - a little more but seems to be worth it. Amazon has some pretty good prices on them.
