Hi there Rebtth, my name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. First make sure that you are using the correct remote control #2 in case you have more than one dual receiver at home. If you do, check that your UHF remote antenna is securely connected to the "Remote Antenna" port on the back of your receiver and that the antenna is upright. Also, make sure that the remote is in SAT mode when trying to change channel. You know the remote is on SAT mode due to when trying to change channels and pressing the channel change button the SAT button is the one that lights up at the top. If the remote still does not work, try addressing the remote again. Please take the remote to the TV1 location (where the receiver is) once you are here, (using remote #1) Press Menu on the remote twice, this should take you to the System Info screen. On the System Info screen towards the bottom you will see listed 'Remote address 1' and 'Remote address 2' put remote #1 down and grab remote #2. On the remote, press and hold the clear SAT button at the top for 5 seconds (once the buttons begin to flash) press the number 8 button on the remote, and then the 'Record button 3 times' After this procedure grab remote #1 again and press 'Select' take remote #2 to Tv. 2 location and try it. If you need additional assistance please contact me at:[email protected]
