Can't get remote 2 to function for dish network

[kc classic]

Hello all,
I am new to this forum.
Just reading about the problems with the remotes. I also have a problem. I have 3 #2 remotes for different tvs in my house. Yesterday they all functioned correctly. Today none of them will control the satellite receiver. Anybody have an idea as to what happened?
Thanks

Have you tried resetting your receiver and readdressing the remote controls? Here is the steps to readdressing the remote. Addressing Remote

Just tried that. Will not reprogram. All remotes worked yesterday. Today only the primary remote(#1) works. Cannot change the channels or anything. The remote works to turn the tv on and off. Will control the tv but not the receiver.

Sounds like you developed an interference on the radio frequency of the remote. Are you using any new wireless gear in your home?

nothing has changed in the house. Looks like I will have call the local dish co.

What happens if you hold a remote to the remote antenna on the back of the receiver and try to reprogram it?

 

[kc classic]

just tried that with two different remotes. Nothing happens.

Can you get it to turn on the blue light for TV2 while in the room with the receiver?

No, neither remote will turn the receiver off.

Probably going to ask the obvious, but are you pressing the Sat button on the remote? I know If I press TV or Aux, I can't control receiver until after pressing it again.

yes i have pressed the sat button. The remote on the primary tv(infared #1) seems a little sluggish also. There seems to be a little delay in the response.

What if you use the front panel buttons, is it still sluggish?

works fine with the buttons on the receiver. I have 5 different remotes for this system. Don't tell me that the batteries are weak. Everything worked fine when I shut it off last night. Now I have no way of changing channels on tv #2.

Called my local dish rep. He had me unplug the receiver for 5 minutes. After I turned it back on I was able to reprogram the remote. Now everything is working fine.

Is the remote address for the secondary remote on the receiver the same as what the remotes are? Maybe the address got changed on the receiver somehow? For example: When you go into the system setup menu the secondary remote address is listed as 5 but all of your remotes are set for 3. Just a thought.
