Is there a way to program 1 remote to control both receivers? Also are these receivers capable of using the RF remote? If I got 1 RF remote can I control both...

    If I've had my Dish Network for like 4 years and I am ready to cancel do I have to give my vip 622 back or do I get to keep it and just use it as an OTA Tuner/DVR? I paid like $299 when I first got the 622 and it came directly from Dish. If I cancel are they going to send me a box to return...

    I have an xbox 360 which I love. I was at a friends last night playing ps3 for the first time. I have to say that I wasn't that impressed. 1. PS3 controllers seem too small compared to xbox. I was getting cramps in my hands trying to drive a vehicle on motorstorm. I have played hours and...
