I need the advice of the experts. I got an RCA ultimate TV receiver (DWD490RE) for christmas to add to my theater. I already have 2 RCA DRD480RE receivers in my theater. I have a 3 in 4 out multiswitch taking LNB-A and B out to the 4 receivers (2 tuners on the ultimate TV receiver and then the other 2 RCA receivers). The ultimate TV receiver set up easy and is working fine. All my A/V equipment is in an equipment rack in my theater and all video output is modulated onto unused cable channels using net media triple play modulators. All receivers are controlled by a IR distribution system that sends IR signals from receivers in each room to emitters on the equipment in the racks. I use 2 Prontos (TSU2000)throughout the house. That's the background of my system.

The problem I have is that the previous two sat receivers were operating on RCA code banks 5000 and 5001. This was fine with 2 receivers but now the 3rd sat receiver (ultimate TV) also operates on code bank 5000. Hence, when I send IR commands to the ultimate TV receiver it also controls the other RCA receiver. Drives my wife and kids nuts!

Does anybody know of a third code bank for RCA satellite receivers? This would fix my problem.....I think.

Thanks for your help.
