I have a 522 with the remotes that came with the unit as well as a 6.2 remote. I have setup the 6.2 remote to opperate tv1 and I use the uhf remote that came with the unit to control tv2. Is there anyway to program these remotes so that they will opperate both tv1 and tv2, one using the regular sat button and the other using the aux button.
Control TV1 & TV2 from one remote

No there is no way of using the remote for tv2 if you set it up to control tv1. Read the other post at http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=778292#post778292 for details.
I have a 6.2 remote setup to control two 508. One on sat. and the other on aux. It's a nice feature of the 6.2 remote.
Yes, it will work since the 508 uses UHF signals instead of UHF PRO signals.
Therefore, you have the correct TAB/CHIP on the remote to make the SAT Mode operate with IR/UHF signals which will control Sat Receiver 1, and then when you programed the AUX Mode to function as a Satellite Receiver Remote, it sends out IR/UHF signals to control Sat Receiver 2. Each UHF receiver is using a different remote address.
But this scenario will not work on a DishPro Plus receiver, because the RF signals sent out in AUX Mode are not UHF PRO.
EDIT: For accuracy: Changed TV1 to Sat Receiver 1; Changed TV2 to Sat Receiver 2.
