Dish has a warehouse in El Paso where all lease receivers are returned. It looks like they replace all returned remotes and either throw them out or sell them for dime on the dollar. Most of the volume sellers of DISH remotes are in El Paso with hispanic last names. I've bought twice with mixed results from 2 different sellers. Be sure the seller will stand behind the remotes, though shipping may say just throw it away. From my experience if you need 2 buy 3.

I have see 5 for around $30-35 including shipping which seems to be about the same as 1 anywhere else. I figure out of 5 one or two has to work.

And won't look too abused.
