The three lenses (not to be confused with the three shells in Demolition Man) found on older Dish Network receivers are actually emitters! They are used to control VCR using a timer on the satellite receiver.
Also, if anyone else uses flashers the IR sensor is the top one. You have to look real close, but it has the words "IR Blaster" in very, very small print next to it.
This is interesting as my read of the 522/625 manual indicates that the IR Blaster feature isn't implemented in those receivers. Maybe it didn't work because the emitter(s) and detector were too close together.
