I have used a 6.3 remote with the UHF Pro key for TV 1 that over came the IR interference problem.

It reads to me in the OP that the tech was just trying to be helpful. Just about every customer I get sent to doesn't know what they ordered and I help them get what they need and will be happy with. Often I even help the customer save money. For instance I've had many customers who were set...

Make sure you have the latest software.

Instech: Join the Installer Zone. You will learn much.

What you need is a Super Buddy meter. It will power the triple and test all three with one connection. DNS supplies them to the techs. They are not cheap, however, if you have to buy one.

To AdamGott: I don't sell anything. I hate selling stuff, so I don't. I learned that most people who sell stuff will tell the customer anything to make the sale, even if it is a lie.

To CowboyDren: Of course I do. If the customer is knowlegable and knows what's what, I'll do the work. If, however, I looks like a potential TC, I put the WO on hold, until they are ready. Remember, ALL TC's are the techs fault according to DNS. TC's will cause less pay to the tech. If...

As an installer, I will not put in HD receivers without the HD TV's there. This is because customers will not know how to connect the HD TV's, when they get them, and they call dish for help. Often the CSR will just hit the tech with a TC. All TC's are the techs fault according the DNS.

Make sure your 622 has latest software.

Yesterday I had an upgrade from 811's to 211's. The customer had two very expensive universal remotes that didn't work well at all. The "free" dish remotes worked much better.

If I were you I would call dish back and ask them to just activate the receiver. If needed have them upgrade the programming. Often when I call in to activate the csr thinks I'm the customer and they activate anyway without asking for the "tech". Some csr's even give ME trouble and refuse to...

HD cables I work as a remote tech for E*. I have to request component and HDMI cables from the warehouse 180 miles away. They don't come with the receivers. Last request they only sent me 2 component and zero HDMI. I called the warehouse and they informed me they are out. :confused:

Quit crying. Of all the things to worry about. When Al Quada nukes your city then complain....

I use a dish 500 with a DPP twin and a 24" comercial dish for my 129. On the 129 I use a DP Dual. I have a cable from the dual to the DPP Twin. Virtually problem free with this set up to a 622.
