HR54R1/700 PAIRING MULTIPLE RC71/73 REMOTES TO ONE RECEIVER. limited to pairing RF wise to only four remotes?

We have one DTV receiver for the living room and kitchen TVs. I have a black box to spoof 5.1 sound and split HDMI to the two monitors. We each have a lose remote at the couch plus I have a third one mounted to the side of a table next to the couch I use to fast forward while my girlfriend and I are holding hands. There is a fourth remote we use at the PC workstation table and a fifth mounted on the fridge below the kitchen monitor.  Every time I program the fifth remote for RF mode it disables RF mode on one of the four other remotes. Is the receiver limited to pairing RF wise with just four remotes?

Hello. Being able to know the possibilities of your devices is a must. Here you can take an overview of your DIRECTV Universal remote. I reviewed the limit of receivers you can pair and there could be only four RF frequencies is the reason you can't connect the fifth remote. Gabriel, DIRECTV Community Specialist
