Can you RF pair more than one RC73 to a Genie Mini?
Please note the subject, very specific, about more than one RC73 using RF/.
Right now I have 2 remotes, one IR setup and the other paired with RF.
Has anyone been able to pair a second RC73 without unpairing the first?
(IR always works, you can reset a RC73 locally and it reverts to IR).

Update, successfully paired 4 remotes to a single Genie Mini, all under RF control. The only downside of doing this is the off button also turns the Genie Mini off (as well as the programmed TV). Since I move between rooms, I really don't want to turn the Genie back on, so I put the remote where it has poor RF reception when turning an individual TV off.
So, 4 work just fine.

Hi, Greg. The DIRECTV HR54 Genie DVR receiver is capable of RF pairing with a maximum of 4 different RC73 RF remotes. The process of pairing the second remote may require some time, and it is important to release the MUTE & ENTER buttons before pressing and holding them until the screen confirms that the remote has been successfully paired.

First line of post is: "please note subject"
Genie Mini, NOT HR54....
Does this work for Genie Mini, C41W ?

sorry about hijacking thread... I have 2 Genie remotes/RF. DTV is Genie 54-500. the tech that did the install successfully programmed for my TV and audio receiver. the 2nd remote is successfully programmed for the same TV, but remote programming won't lock down for audio receiver. :( any thoughts/suggestions?

1. don't hijack the thread
2. you already have another thread, right?
3. you cannot program the remote for a TV and for a receiver on my system, but I have Genie Mini... you only get one or the other.

Yeah, on my Genie Mini, I have not seen the way to program 2 things into the remote, so maybe on your unit you should be able to.
That is why I said for MY system in the post.
And if I'm wrong, and you can program the remote on a Genie Mini to control a TV AND a receiver, please show me where, I might need it some time.
