On the front of the receiver there is button that says "mode". Press that so that the light is lit on the the "dual" symbol.

man can i ask you something? the blue light on my reciever won't go on which recognizes my second TV. what do i do?

[jdodson1804]

I believe you can just open the tab on the front of your receiver and press the "mode" button until the light comes on.

You guys are so dependent on the internet. You know you can just call Dish Network and they will guide you with ANY problems you have. Also, for a more SIMPLE way of fixing your remote. You can open your Dish Network receiver, PRESS "SYSTEM INFO" (NOT INFO) and then PRESS "RECORD" 3 TIMES. After you are done with this, simply PRESS "SELECT". And BAM! You got a working remote...

@CheeseCoatedChopper On the front right side of the box, there are some bottons... it's the uppermost left bottom the you push.

is this a newer receiver model or something cuz the only part on the front that opens up is a hatch to a removable green chip. my dog ate the main tv remote so it doesn't work at all and i'm trying to resync the second tv remote to become the main remote like the first one was but the sat button has been pressed so many times that it doesn't work any more, i guess we'll just have to order new remotes.
