I saw a direct card after it was replaced by a new one and the swap process literally fried the chip in the card. The plastic was discolored by the heat. I don't think it worked after that.

Dish remotes can be programmed with id numbers so they will not interfere with one another but that doesn't address the wish to control two receivers with one remote.
