Here is my dilemma. In my Family room I have my home theater setup that current has a Mits HD-5 HD receiver form Directv. All of my components are hidden and accessed through an IR emitter the receive sits a top my tv and then I have the cables stuck to all of my components so I can control them as they are hidden away from my 2 year old. Upstairs in my bedroom I have an 80 hr RCA Directv Tivo. I send the Upstairs Tivo signal done to my home theater room so we can watch what is on the tivo down stairs instead of just in the bedroom upstairs. I send the Audio/Video through a wireless transmitter. To control the tivo I spliced one of the wires that plugs in the to IR receiver and tied it into an open phone jack. The phone jack was Cat 5 , no big deal I just had to tie it in to the phone jack that was upstairs. It is great I can control my tivo upstairs downstairs. Here is the tricky part. I am going to replace my Mits HD Directv receiver with an HD Tivo machine this week. I got to thinking that I am going to have some control problems when I send a command from my remote to my new HD Tivo the upstairs Tivo will get the same command. I want to be able to control each of them separately but still have it in my current setup, I have a philips pronto 2000. Can I get the philipspronto to recgonize two different Tivo's.Help. Is there a way to assign an address to the Directv Tivo’s? Help

Unless you get the same manufactor of the tivo, you shouldn't have a problem. And if it is the same, there still could be a difference between the two receivers. As the one that you have upstairs is a regular tivo, not a HD tivo. Although I am not too familur with that aspect.

Even if they are the same, there might be a possiblity to change the "address" on one of the receivers. I don't see why they wouldn't be, specialy on the new HD receiver.

If you have a problem, come back and post your thread to this one as a reply.

All TiVo's I've seen respond (in default settings) to the same codes (I have 3 of them). However, I'm not familair with the Direct TV models, nor the HD TiVo. My stand alone models DO have the capability to change the IR code set. I've not done it but the instructions are in the manual. I would assume this works on Direct TV models as well.

If you still have problems, you can ask additional questions here: [Link: tivocommunity.com]. Great source for all things TiVo.
