Setup TV1 in UHF mode for VIP 722

[lm75093]

Hey guys,
Upgraded to the VIP 722 system and want to setup TV1 to operate in UHF mode (because i'm thinking of relocating the receiver to another room) - can you help walk me thru how to do that?
Thanks in advance!

Search this Forum (and its sub-forums) for "TV1 UHF".

Purchase a 6.3 Dish remote kit and install the green/#1in black/UHF tab. That will give you what you need.

Get it here, not on Ebay. Many don't come with tabs.

Get the new 21.0 remote by calling Dish. $19.99 + $5.95 shipping. It'll change TV1 to UHF automatically and it'll learn any IR remote as well as having hundreds of device codes that the 6.3 doesn't have. You'll need the instructions which are here on the top of the page. Dish sends 'em out without them.

Thanks all for the responses!. I had a 625 unit before and recall there was a setup screen that would actually let you enable UHF on TV 1 but i guess with the VIP units it's done via the remotes rather than the receiver?

That was just discussed a few days ago... here is a link...

Yep - sorry, read thru that post earlier but it seemed some info was confusing and just wanted to make sure I was getting the point. I've ordered the 6.3 remote and will go from there.
Thanks.
