TV1 on a VIP722? I seem to be finding conflicting information. I really need to find a way to control TV1 via UHF and am trying to track down an inexpensive option. Any ideas? Thanks!
Will a 6.3 remote work with UHF on...

My DVR is always in the Single Mode. When I switch modes, the UHF only controls TV2. Sorry for the confusion. It is possible to make UHF work in Dual Mode. See this link: http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-ne...ons/154095-converting-tv1-uhf-instead-ir.html

Must have the Green #1 UHF key in the remote to work correctly. Blue #2 UHF only controls when in single mode.
Thanks Mark. I was looking at one that came with a full set of keys, so I should be in good shape then.
Green UHF w/ black 1
The 6.3 remote works fine I'm using one on my 722 at home. However, you need to use the green UHF key with the black 1 on it.
You could also use a 21.0 remote with the 1 key.

That is the correct key....however, if you don't have one you can still convert the Blue # 2 remote .
Use the front panel to go to System Info.
Remove the Blue Tab and look down into slot where the tabs go. (you can not simply reverse the tab since it is the wrong configuration for what you want to do)
You will see a guitar pick shaped slider that has about five click stops.
I can't remember if it is the second or third click position (from the left) which puts the remote into a "UHF TV 1" mode...but one of them does.
Take something like a paper clip and click the slider over.
Press and hold the white "sat" button on the top left until they all light up.
Then press the numeral 1....then the pound symbol [#] ....wait 3 blinks....then press the Record button.
If you are in the proper click stop, you will see the Tuner 1 block (box i) change from IR to "IR UHF Pro Band A".
Do NOT put the bottom tab back in as it will change the click position.
If you simply MUST fill the hole, clip the tabs down to nubs that are long enough to stick in the hole, but too short the move the slider.
