32.0 Remote

[Elroy]

Has anyone had a chance to use the new 32.0 UHF 2G remote?

I now have a greater appreciation for the 922 since this remote came out. It is almost an exact replica of the 20.0 and 21.0 remotes that come packed with the 722k and 222k receivers.

Only one complaint: While in the guide the skip forward button does not skip ahead a day like other dish remotes. To skip ahead/back a day you must use the fwd/back buttons. The skip fwd/back buttons only skip fwd/back a few hours in the guide.

The remote makes the 922 much more user friendly. However, if you turn on the receiver with the old remote some of the features may not work properly.

Yeah I have had the new remote since November and it makes the 922 so much more enjoyable to use.

I give it a big thumbs up!

Does the new 32.0 remote have the orientation ribs on the bottom like the 622's? I use my 722k's 21.1 remote mostly by brail and I miss the ribs. I've replaced them with a rubber band, but it's not the same, besides it makes the remote look cheep, like it's being held together....
