Addressing DirecTV Genies with Nevo C3
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2016 4:44 pm
I did some searching around here and remotecentral.com but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I just bought a pair of Nevo C3 remotes, which I like a lot so far, but I just realized that their RF bases are not addressable. That probably won't be a big deal since the equipment in the two rooms I will be using them will be different, except for the DirecTV receivers.
Now, the C3 has a feature to control DirecTV directly with RF, but I can't figure out what 6-digit code it's asking me for. I'm thinking that 6-digit code applies to earlier receivers, not the Genie.
My other thought was to just control the Genies with IR via the RF base. I noticed that the DirecTV protocol I'm using (01 62) allows for up to 8 addresses (1-8). Is there a way to change the IR address of a Genie? I have a feeling they are all set up as address #1.
Thanks.
