#1 UHF Remote Questions...

[SaltiDawg]

i have a 722 that i want to hide in the basement so my #1 IR remote is no longer any good. anyone know where i can purchase a #1UHF remote?

i know dish sells them but i refuse to pay $15 for shipping. i also have an extra #2UHF remote, is there anything i can do with that (flip the chip to #1)?

thanks in advance for any help...

If you are going to operate the 722 in Single Mode, no need to do anything. Go to Single on the front panel and simply use the #2 UHF Remote. I do this all the time even with the receiver in the same room with my TV because that way I do not need to point the IR remote at the receiver.

If you want to control a 722 you need a 6.4 remote Tech Portal : Remotes : 6.4 IR/UHF/UHF Pro and a set of the keys to get the correct one for TV1. You can find them on Ebay or buy one from Dish. The correct key for TV1 is Green with a black 1 on it.

My 722 came with a 6.3 and I had a couple around the house that grabbed one as TV1 UHF. I mostly use an HOne with the 722. BUT my many of my remotes are starting to die and DISH sent me a 6.4 for one of them and WOW! what a difference. Buttons are easier to use and react as one would expect, UHF distance response is incredible. I have two 21.0's and they are dogs. As soon as I can I will be switching them all out for the latest 6.4. Or if they hold out for a while, 6.5's, if they keep working like the 6.4.

Do you have a 21.0 remote? If so, just make sire the black uhf tab is facing out, go to system infor screen, press clear sat button once and than record - should change from ir to uhf

yea, I also figured this out when switching between single and dual mode.
don't have to change anything to control tv1 with the tv2 remote
