If they enabled IR on TV2, there are many universal remotes to choose from . You can even use them wirelessly with their own base station or using Powermid type devices . Again the problem is that the base station uses IR to control components, but TV2 will not respond to IR .
Dish is a satellite company, not a consumer electronics manufacturer . Look at all of the problems with their DVR's compared to Tivo . They produced their own rather than license from Tivo so that they would get the profits .
I'd rather buy a remote from a remote manufacturer that knows how to make remotes because that's what they do . If Dish were to make a more sophisticated remote, I'm sure it will be as bug-ridden as their DVR's .
the 811 is only a single tuner receiver; it will accept IR or UHF signals. The 322, 522, and 625 have two remores and tow receivers the second receiver will only accept UHF signals to control it.
You just need to buy a universal remote that does both IR and RF like the
MX-350,600/800,850 etc
