Hi, I run a Pronto TSU-7000 in my HT and recently added an IR repeater for another room where I have a Tivo HD unit serving two bedrooms. My problem is when I use my Pronto, the IR repeater in the bedroom picks up the signals when I am trying to command my HT Tivo in my HT from my Pronto. The Pronto is sending out RF to a Pronto entender in my gear room. I believe the IR repeater is using the same RF frequency.
I tried adjusting the channel and ID on the Pronto but this made no difference. The IR repeater I am using is the Radio Shack unit. Any suggestions on a unit that will not have this issue? Hardwiring a repeater is an option if I have to go that route. Your thoughts???
Thanks.

The Pronto uses 418MHz, which is also used by many RF repeaters. If you are using TiVo remotes for your bedroom system, you might be able to use the Next Generation Home Products battery transmitters / base. They are availalbe in both 433MHz and 418MHz flavours.

Thanks, I will check that out. Yes, I am using the Tivo remote in the bedroom.

A completely different way to solve this problem is to use an alternative command set for the Tivo Box in the master bedroom. There are 8 unique command sets for TiVo.

Hi Don,
How do I do that?

Navigate to the system information page on the tivo device you wish to change the code on. Take the peanut remote and hold the tivo button and mute down simultaneously... then enter "2" for command set 2 followed by the right arrow while aiming the unit at the TiVo STB. That unit will now respond to command set 2. Keep in mind that most units are set to command zero that will respond to all command sets. You should program 1 unit for command set 1 and the other to command set 2.
