Something has happened, and now the TV2 remote is no longer controlling the dish on TV2. It can still control volume, input etc but can't do guide, go to dish menu etc.Anything that happens on TV1 is now showing on TV2.Any ideas? No settings have been changed on either TV.

Some how either your tv2 television changed channels, or your box accidentally was placed in single mode.

Check the modulator screen on your reciever at the reciever location.

Menu, 6, 1, 5. On the screen you can see a tv1 out put side (left) and TV 2 out put side (right). Confirm the channels. Go to your tv2 location and make sure your TV is set to what your reciever indicated tv2 should be set on.

If previously your tv2 was 60, your TV may have been put on 69. If it was previously 73, it may have accidentally been put on 75.
 
Or if your reciever was accidentally put into single mode it will display TV 1 on both TV's. Open the front panel cover and press the mode button. Both the green and blue lights on the front of the reciever should be on, not just the green light. As well as the yellow light should be under the icon that looks like 2 little boxes, not under the one that looks like a single box by itself.
 
Remote2 can do volume, turn tv on etc.However, its not controlling the satelite side anymore (cant go to guide, pressing menu etc doesn't work),can't press select to turn on tv.

On the your receiver is currently off screen its showing as TV1.

Havent been able to get on/use tv1 to check anything.The TV1 watcher is recovering from surgery so having to wait and find a time when they aren't sleeping or watching tv.Which limits my window to do much right now.
 
Solved it!

Some how the TV2 got put on a different channel (presuming the one that tv1 is on). I just happened to check and changed it back, and everything good to go.
