uhf remote for dish 512 receiver

[mark_goal]

next week a dish tech will replace my 501 with a 512.
i need to control that 512 with a uhf remote.
i think the 512 comes with just an ir remote.
i can use the little antenna from my 501 on the 512.
but i will need a different uhf remote for that 512; my 501 platinum remote will
not work.
by reading some of the posts here, it looks like it is possible to buy a 'dish
6.4 uhf remote' on ebay to work with the 512.
when i search ebay for 'dish 6.4 uhf remote', i get many different remotes for
sale. i get one which has a green key at the bottom with '1' on it. majority
is a remote with a blue key with a '2' on it. i also get a few with silver at
the bottom. i think the blue with the 2 means it is a uhf remote for the 2nd
tuner of the 2 tuner 522; but i am not sure.
which of these will work as a uhf remote for the 512?

i would appreciate some help in locating the correct uhf remote that will work
with 512. Is there a part number for such a remote? if someone could look in
ebay & give me an item # that will work for sure with a 512; that would be
really helpful. Thanks.

Some of the pictures on Ebay are showing it with the key turned over.

Thank You!

Are those green, blue, or silver keys just visuals for end user to identify remote OR do they change some remote functionality when flipped over?

Try this thread, too.

They do change functionality by key, and you do need the proper one installed to program the remote as UHF
