Ok I have two recievers. One is a DVR reciever controlled by a 6.3 IR/UHF PRO remote control. The other reciever is a Duo 322 Receiver which controls two TVs. First problem began after some plugs were removed. The problem was at first that one remote, the DVRs remote would change all 3 TVs. That problem has been solved. However, now the remote that controlled the duo receiver has stopped working. I cannot pull up the system info menu on the 322 receiver manually by pressing and releasing the power button. It only lights/unlights the TV1 light and the TV2 light remains lit. We do have a total of 3 Remotes, but we only use 2. The problem is keeping one remote from controlling all 3 TVs. If troubleshooting will include pulling up system info menu on the Duo receiver then I need help with that also.

You may need to change the remote address numbers. If they are all the same you will be controlling all 3 receivers. If you ever need to get into the system info screen just hit the menu button on the remote twice.

if you are in front of tv 1 and the 322, pull the smart card out.that should pull up the system info screen.when you can see the system info screen we can attempt to re address the remotes.

with the 3.0 remote lets try to re address the remote. hold the clear sat button down til all 4 clear buttons light up, release and the sat button should stay lit, with the 3.0 remote hit the 8 button, hit the pound button and then the rec key again.
