Who wouldn’t want a stack of these...
It may be just a wish for many
residential customers, but
for commercial customers,
it’s pretty common. Stack
several receivers in an
equipment rack, and you
have a decent bar setup. the
only problem is controlling
them. Many bar owners
use aluminum foil over the
receivers to make sure that
the remote signal doesn’t get through, but there is a better way. To control more
than one receiver with a remote, you’ll need a white DIRECTV remote like the one
you see above. If you need a spare, check this out --
(ONLY) Remote Compatible with Genie HR24 and All Preceding Receivers (RC65) from
Solid Signal)
Note that the RC71 remote used with the HR44 Genie will not work with this tip,
and some Genie DVRs and Genie clients will not give you this option. If you’re using
any DIRECTV receiver from H21 through H25 or HR20 through HR24 though you
should be fine.
It’s also important to check the remote model number. It should be RC32 or higher.
We’re going to use the sliding switch at the top to control four receivers, and it’s easy!
Your remote model should say
RC32 or higher. This is an RC65.
