Dish VIP211k DVR option (SOLVED)

Question

I think I recall seeing this info posted before, but I'm not sure where. Does anyone know if there's a work around for watching recorded programs on a VIP211k with the DVR option when the dish antenna is not connected? Is there a way to bypass the loss of signal screens?

Did you try pressing the DVR (Dish on Demand) button on the remote?

Hmmmmm, I thought I had tried just hitting the DVR button with no success, but I'll give it another try when I unhook the dish again this afternoon.

Ok, my thanks, guys, for heading me in the right direction anyway. Knowing that the DVR button SHOULD work, I tried it again with no success. Then I pulled out our second remote and tried it. Aahah!!! The DVR button works perfectly on the second remote, just as you said. The first remote I used apparently has a bad button, since it doesn't want to work for any of the DVR functions. That one is a recent purchase, so it'll go back for an exchange. Thank you!!!
