Dish tv 2nd remote programing
to start off I have dish 622 receiver,my set up is main tv hdmi hookup,bedroom tv,cable hook up and outside tv which is split off bedroom recently I got a second dish remote for outside to control tv and dish receiver,remote ok for tv but not dish receiver,called dish to program remote,told to press menu twice on #1 remote (main room remote)you then see primary and secondary remote address.Mine was 3 on secondary remote then told to press record on remote,low and behold 3 went to 1 and remote works.NOW FOR THE FUN.then went to use remote in bedroom and of course it dosen't work. Called dish and told you can't have 2 second tv remotes,"it won't work.ok so sat and started playing and noticed if I push and hold sat button on remote all function buttons flash as if you weer programing remote for tv,so for the heck of it I pressed 1(the new second remote address) then # sat lite blinked twice and I now I have 2 second tv remotes,guess dish needs to study their own equipment a little more.
