In our MH there is no practical place for the receiver using IR. Therefore I went with RF on the HR24 and again for the HR44 with the RC71.
However from DTV:
"NOTE: If you have upgraded to the latest DIRECTV Genie Receiver (HR44
and above) and Mini Client (C41, C41W and above), the Genie Remote is
not required – you can still use the previous generation Universal Remote

I believe that would be with the RC65 in IR mode???
Is there a Harmony that works with the HR44 in RF mode?
I did switch the HR24 RC65 remote between IR and RF mode as I moved the receiver from S&B to MH. It was a big big pain because the setup had to be mostly done from the HR24 front panel. So I went out and bought two RC65RBX remotes (IR and RF) and never went back to IR.
I suspect the HR44 and RC71 are similar.
