omg!!! i followed the directions for binding to the "T" and nothing was working. I must have tried it at least 20 times last night and this morning with no luck... So this afternoon i went to the lhs and bought an AR6000 and i decided to try to see if the AR7000 would work one last time and amazingly it did!!! I guess the AR7000 was lonely and just wanted another receiver to play with ... o well i guess i have a backup now
