Tv 1 and tv 2 are in our bedrooms. my son wants to record his shows on his and i want to record on mine. all timed showed are going to tv1. we went into record plus and disabled it< but the problem still persists. it switches back to enable by its self. this is a new receiver. our other one broke. Is there a defect in this receiver too? Do you happen to have another solution to our problem? we have called dish network twice over this problem.

Is the receiver in dual mode? Go to the receiver, open the door, and hit the mode key. If both TVs are still showing the same thing, then the issue is not the mode.

Go to TV 2 (the one without the receiver) and make sure the TV is tuned to channel 60 or 73. If it is still showing the same thing, go to TV1 (the one with the receiver) and hit Menu, system setup, Installation, modulation (menu 6-1-5). make sure the modulation for tv2 matches which channel you put your tv2 on.

Still showing the same thing? check the back of the receiver, the RCA cables (red/white/yellow) are plugged into the TV1 ports not the TV2 ports.

Showing different things but the remote still changes channels on both tvs? Go to TV1, hit menu twice, near the bottom there are two boxes each with a number. This is the address for each remote (tv1 and tv2). On the TV2 remote hold sat until it stays lit, choose a number different than on the screen, touch pound (#), the sat light blinks three times, hit record, the number on the screen should change to match the one you typed in.

Still being silly? Call a priest, you have a poltergeist!

Hi Tracy, my name is Mike Houston a Social Media Representative at DISH. With the TV2 remote working for both TVs, you will want to make sure the TV1 input on the receiver is connected to the TV cable (RCA or Coax cable) and TV2 input is connected to TV2 port on the back of the receiver. I will provide you our link explaining in more detail about connections. If you have any further questions I will provide you my e-mail; [email protected]. Here is the link I promised you: http://www.mydish.com/support/same-video-2-tvs

Himarcos_and_s, my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network and I was going over yourpost and with TV2 showing what's on TV1 you want to make sure the receiver isin dual mode and if that is the case please unplug the receiver for 10 secondsto reset the receiver and you will have your TV1 and TV2 showing differentprograms. If you have any questions please e-mail me at [email protected].

first off, check the mode setting at tv 1, are you in dual mode, or single. you need to be in dual. Also sounds like the remotes address is not correct. rather then me typeing forever here, I would call dish, 1-800-894-9131, they can walk you rite through it.

This is a problem that many have. If you are recording on TV1, and the receiver is in dual mode, then you are only able to watch what you record. But you can set your recording to TV1, and then put the receiver into single mode, and switch from the recording to live TV.

Hello, Matthew Gonzales with DISH Network here. The default setting in our receivers are to automatically record everything onto TV2. You can change the setting by pressing menu-8- 5 (preferences-record plus), then you can either disable the feature, or set it to record onto TV1. If the feature is disabled, the show will record at whichever TV the timer is set up on. If it is set to TV1, all timers will attempt to record on TV1 (unless TV1 already has a recording going on it then it goes to TV2). Hope this helps.

Hello, Daniel Busa with Dish Network customer service the easiest way is to set the recordings up on tv2. You can do this when you set up the recording, or you can set your record preferences to tvs. To do this hit menu 8-5 then select enable and either set the default to tv1 or tv2 whichever is best for you.

Hello! Daniel Busa with Dish Network here! Most likely your reciever is using our record plus feature. This sets the record default to always being on tv1 or always being on tv2. To fix this hit menu 8-5 go to disable hit select, go to done hit select delete the timer and set it up again.

It could be the distance the remote is from the antenna. Try going to the receiver and pressing the guide button on said remote. Go back to TV 2 and see if it is up. If not go back to tv 1 and with TV1 ON AND TV1 REMOTE IN HAND press MENU-MENU. You will be able to see the remote addreses for the remotes toward the bottom of the page. With TV2 remote in hand press and hold the SAT button in the upper left of the remote until all buttons across the top illuminate. Now press in a trwo digit number between 2 and 15. Press the pound sign and the SAT button will flash thrice. Now press record a few times until you see the TV2 icon on the screen blink and the address is the same as you keyed. Exit out of the menu with TV1 remote. Go to tv 2 and try. You should be good to go.
