Answer 1

Hi Claudia, I am sorry that you are having a problem with your TV2 DISH remote. The TV2 remote works using UHF (Ultra High Frequencies) which is what allows it to control the receiver in another room. What you are experiencing is UHF interference. The little remote antenna on the back of the receiver is being interfered with by UHF signal for the TV and possibly other electronics surrounding the receiver. Unplugging the receiver for 10 seconds will give you a temporary relief but to resolve the issue, it is best to extend out the antenna using a few feet of coax cable and a barrel connector. Then just move the antenna closer to whatever direction TV2 is from the receiver (See attached link). Each component can be purchased at any local electronics store for a few dollars. This will resolve the issue completely.

Make sure to press the button that activates it for the satelite before trying to press any buttons.

I'd contact your dish provider for a new remote.
