And again, if the answer to my question is "Yes," then it is not needed.

What Dish Receiver do you have?
It is a VIP622,uses an IR remote.

hilldude,
...

May I assume that you only view one station at a time? In other words, even if you have two (or more) TVs that you are OK with not watching one show on one set while watching a different program on the other?

...

And again, what is the answer to this question asked yesterday?

The 622 receiver uses IR for the TV in living room and RF for TV in bedroom. Thanks for the ideas.

Ours works thru the door. There is an app that will allow your cell phone to act as a remote for dish too.

I'll give you some positive support. I have a 722 and use 2 RF remotes for it to control the tv1 and tv2 outputs. Works great.

hilldude,
The 622 Receiver uses either an IR Remote OR an RF Remote, or BOTH depending on how set up.

May I assume that you only view one station at a time? In other words, even if you have two (or more) TVs that you are OK with not watching one show on one set while watching a different program on the other?

With the 622 you could operate in either of these modes.
