HDMI 4X4 & Dish IR remote

I just downgraded to a Dish 211z receiver in my MH from the original Hopper. The 211z has an IR remote and for some reason I just cannot get it to do anything through the HDMI 4X4 system that carries your IR back to the receiver cabinet. All of the other ones work (DVD, roku, etc.) and I even swapped out IR components on the HDMI 4X4 system to see if I had a bad part.

Any reason to believe the Dish IR is not compatible with the HDMI 4X4?

You should note where the IR receiver window is on your 211Z and make sure that the 4X4 IR emitters can send the IR signal into that window. I notice that all those other things you say are working OK are using a different piece of equipment..( DVD/ROKU systems ).

Tiffin Motor home users with have also faced this problem over the years.... even though Tiffin provided a different but similar system to carry the IR signals back to the receivers. I believe they now provide a superior upgraded system that works. Some people on that forum circumvented the problem by changing over to a RF remote instead of IR, and installed RF to IR receivers at the satellite receiver.
