    How to pair a 21.0 remote to a Hopper Duo

    My mom got a new Hooper Duo and it came with a 54.0 remote. We've split the HDMI out to run to two TV's with one in another bedroom. I understand the 54.0 is UHF and that will be used in the other room. I'm trying to pair an old 21.0 remote using IR to the Hopper Duo to use in the same room as...

    BYOR (bring your own receiver)

    I've been away from Dish for 2 years, ready to come back, but looking for a very basic package without a commitment. If I want to buy my own VIP622 from DishDepot, install it and call up Dish to activate. Where can I find the cost of packages without equipment.

    PIP location

    It's always irritated me how the 622 PIP window is so far out in the main picture. I was wondering if the Hopper puts it any closer to the edge. I'd prefer it right on the edge. Could someone upload a pic of how it looks? Here's how the 622 presents PIP.
