Hey all, first the disclaimer:
I am a noob when it comes to satellites, and I specifically registered on the board to ask this question, lol. Also, as a long time internet forum user, I realize that "Search" is my friend, and tried to use it to the best of its ability in this quandary I have. However, I wasn't sure if the info I found was up to date, so I thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks for bearing with me so far, haha...
My father recently purchased the Dish ViP622 HD DVR Receiver. It came with the standard package of remotes for TV1 and TV2.
My situation is this: We have a HD LCD television (in the living room) connected via HDMI to the receiver in an adjacent closet. We have a SD television in the back bedroom, and it is connected via the coax outlet built into the wall. Obviously the SD television uses the standard TV2 UHF remote. I need to be able to control my HD TV via UHF as well, seeing as how the actual receiver is in the closet.
I have read the many threads on this, and am stumped. I have read everything from green tabs with a black number "1" on them- to green tabs with a "1" and "UHF Pro" on them. I have also read threads that say it can't be done. Dish tech support claims it cannot be done as well. But alas, I hold out hope.
Frankly, this poor guy (me) is confused.
Can anyone give me a no-nonsense, "to the point" answer of how I could solve my problem via 2 UHF remotes? Can it be done? Also, if anyone has any insightful links to share, please do. I am all ears to this wonderful community!
Thank you all so much!
