TV2 Remote wont work when TV1 is on

[tonydanza]

I just got dish and ordered a 722 for my LG LCD TV in the living room which is synced up to my bedroom TV. I can't get the UHF remote to work when TV1 is turned on. When the TV is off, everything is fine. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Did you get a 722 or a 722k? The problem is that your TV is making noise in the UHF band used by the TV2 remote. Sometimes switching the band will help (VIP dual tuners support two different bands A & B). The process for doing this is different for the two different types of receiver and remote, so we need to know which it is before we can help. Another solution to try is to "pigtail" the remote antenna away from the TV with a COAX jumper cable. There are other solutions if none of these work, but they are more difficult to describe how to do.

B band should do it.

Looks like it is a 722K. I've tried a few channels on the A and B band. The guy who installed it couldn't figure it.

Got it to work by going with the pigtail technique. Thanks for the help
