Hello my name is Mike Houston of DISH Network customer service. There is a way to have two remotes on one TV, the first thing we need to push the menu button two times to get to the system info screen on the working remote. Then there will be a number in a white box at the button of the screen, we will want to remember that number so we can put it in for the second remote. Now once we are on the SYSTEM INFO screen we will want to get the remote we want programmed to that receiver, we will hold down the SAT button on the remote until all the buttons light up on the top of the remote. We will let go and then press the number that we wrote down and press the # button. Now both remotes will change the satellite channels.
Hi, I'm trying to do the same thing with a PVR Dish 510. I have two remotes - both 6.2's - and they are both set for remote address 1, as is the dish system. One of the two remotes works just fine, the other has no control over my set, although it works on another family member's Dish 508.
Any suggestions? Unlike the first remote, the second has an A/B switch under the battery cover which, of course, I have tried on both settings.
Thanks for your help,
Brian
