I know the RF remote works great but I use a universal remote system (URC MX 850) that utilizes little flashers that stick to the IR window of my devises. I am not using the second TV either so I really don't need the RF. And also worth mentioning, the Dish remotes are not back lit which really sucks in a home theater that's dark.

I can not find in the manual a location for this sensor. I tried moving the flasher all over the front window of the DVR but couldn't pin point the exact location. I had this same problem with the 510 but at least you can see the sensor and get the flashers close.

Mdrew,

The IR sensor is on the front panel. There are three clear plastic lenses. Those the IR receivers.

Now with that said all after market remotes only work using remote address #1. If you have set your receiver and Dish remote to another remote address then no aftermarket remote will work.

The 635 doesn't have those. I did find it though. Had to use a flashlight. The sesors are behind the black plastic cover.

Mdrew,

First there is NO 635 receiver its a 625, but your right the IR sensor is behind the smoked black plastic on the front of the receiver.
