I have 2 x RM-F04 remotes running in the same room on the same Hummy. We are disabled so have one each for convenience. I bought a second one for that purpose - although one is a four code and the other is a three code version which is slightly annoying.
My Hummy seems to be dying (no need for help as it's insured - just going to send it of for repair soon). I am with Virgin and have been recently sent a HD TIVO PVR free-view recorder. We both love our hummy remotes and use the universal functions for out TV, Amp and to control Kodi on our PC via a FLIRC dongle.
Question 1: Can the PVR button be reprogrammed to control the TIVO? It's likely to be several weeks before we get our hummy back.
Question 2: this is more of a related question really. We haven't started using the TIVO yet but if it turns out that we like it and want to keep both the Hummy and the TIVO we will have 5 devices and only 4 positions on the hummy universal remote. I want the situation where we have 1 remote each that will run everything and maybe in the future some home automation too. So can anyone recommend a universal remote that will work? Remember though - 2 of the same remotes will be used in one room so any task related (macro) commands like those on harmony remotes that will become out so sync so will be no good.
I do see the sense in RF remotes with hubs and IR blasters as apposed to only IR and and prepared to pay a fair amount to get what I need but don't want to be trouble shooting out of sync remotes. Any ideas? also I would like at least some hard buttons - not all touch screen>>
