Hi all! I am new to this forum but I must say I enjoy ALL of the valuable... well anyway... all of the information that I have read. I have a question that may be easily answered. But first some background info. :D :grin:
I have purchased a brand new 522. I purchased... thats right, I said purchased... my 522 from Radio Shack. :grin: I am part of the new lease plan and am a new customer of Dish. I read (in this forum) about the 522's and thought it would work great in my house. I called Dish and asked about upgrading to the 522 from the 510 that they installed and I was told that the 522 is not part of a promotion in my area and that if I wanted a 522 that I would have to go to a retailer and purchase one and Dish would activate it because I am on the lease plan. I was told that once activated, if I ever roll out of the lease to a different plan the 522 activation stays because I had to purchase the 522 under the lease plan. The Dish csr told me Radio Shack sold them in different markets. I called Radio Shack and to my suprise they do sell the 522's. I then called back dish to re-verify the info listed above and the person I spoke with this time told me, almost exactly, the same thing the first csr told me. I had Radio Shack order the 522 and I just bought today. NOW... to the question! :D
The #1 remote is a ir remote. The #2 is a uhf remote. I understand from the Dish Network FYI 101 channel that I can make the #1 a uhf remote, in addition to the #2 uhf remote, if I need to place the receiver in a different location. Well I need to. I have TV 1 in the den, TV 2 upstairs, and the 522 in the living room. How can I make this happen? Do modify the equipment or just buy a new #1 uhf remote? Would both uhf remotes work off the one uhf antenna? If anyone has this setup I would appreciate any info.
Thanks again for all of the good reads! :)
