Two remotes on a 722 TV2

[lisacor]

Is it possible to use a new learing remote on TV2 with a 722 as well as the current remote I had for the 722 TV2? I would basically like to have two remotes for my second TV on the 722. Is this possible and if so what steps do I need to go through to accomplish?

Thanks in advance for all help.

The TV2 remote is an RF (radio frequency) remote, so you won't find a "learning remote" that will work with it. They only work in IR (infrared) mode.

You *can* purchase a second TV2 remote from Dish and set it to the same Remote ID, and both remotes will work.

I got the new 21.0 remote and am using that as my first remote. The remote that I did have can I use that remote as well as the new 21.0 learning remote at the same time on TV2?

Sorry for the confusion. I was unclear on my original post.

You can use the 21.0 IR/UHF for TV2. In fact, when I got mine it was set up for UHF and I had to change it over to IR. The receiver will work with as many remotes as you want.

Yes you can. Just have to address them both to the same number and make sure they are both on the same UHF Band (A or B)

Sorry, I was assuming the use of a 3rd party universal remote, rather than the v21 Dish remote.

Can you change the new 21 remotes to UHF Band A?

Can you change the new 21 remotes to UHF Band A?

The new 21.0 remotes alternate frequency band by remote address.

If the remote address is odd, they use UHF Pro Band A.

If the remote address is even, they use UHF Pro Band B.

I found this out the hard way when I was fighting with the 21.0 to try to get it to talk to my 722 which was set to address 4, band A. :D

I know of no way to explicitly set the band the 21.0 will use.

Wrong question. :lol:
