Low Battery Very Often

[dustiny]

I am pretty new to all of this so any help would be great, I have a dish 625. Last winter I put a den in my basemant and I split the tv2 line which used to go to my master bedroom, and split it so it goes to the den and bedroom, I bought another remote from dish its a 6.3 the old ir remote is a 6.2, but ever since the remote batterys die in a matter of a month, even if the remotes is not used at all. Both remotes are set to the same address and have the blue uhf pro key in them. Both remotes die in a matter of a day or two from each other. Please help.

Buy some rechargable batteries.

I had batteries die too that fast it was just the result of bad batteries

Is it possible that a button is stuck in the pressed position? If so, the remote would be constantly transmitting, draining the batteries.

I have tried multiple brands of batteries, the buttons are not stuck, keep in mind i'm changing batteries on average twice a month! One of the remotes is brand new, the other is only about a 18mo. old.

I suspect that Dish won't replace the remote as defective but it doesn't hurt to ask. Otherwise, I suggest rechargeable batteries also. They always last much longer for me *between* charges. On my digital camera, for example, I might get 50-75 pictures out of two brand-new batteries whereas I lose track of how many I get when I've got rechargeable ones in it.
