I have 2 receivers.  Each receiver controls 2 TVs.  My #1 remote is broken.. Can I use one of the other remotes to control my main TV?  Please help before I get murdered by the woman.

Pop the battery cover off remote #2, and switch it from UHF to IR.

That MIGHT work, but I'm not sure.

Or...just put the #1 green thing on the #2 remote in place of the purple #2 thingie.



Which does just what you're suggesting...

Yeah, moving the switch works.  I just tried it down stairs.

Now that the immediate crisis has passed call Dish and tell them your remote quick working.  It's happened a few times over the years for us and they'always replaced them quickly, with no fuss and no charge.
