622 - can it be used with an IR remote?

I have a Logitech Harmony remote, that is IR. Can the 622 box be controlled via IR, or is it RF only? I would hate to have ti use 2 remotes rather than my 1 universal remote.

Thanks.

Vip622:

TV1 - IR Only
TV2 - UHF Only

This is not 100%, but I find nothing to support otherwise.

Thanks.I don't know about using a a universal, however... You may need to use the "learning function" on your Harmony after programming a Dish remote to do what it is you're interested in. How you have the 622 set-up (Single/Dual Mode, Shared View, etc.) will determine how you need to proceed in getting the appropriate addresses...

Controlling TV2 through IR is not really feasable since you will want to use the 2nd receiver for another room. What are the steps to get a UHF remote to control TV1? I cannot see anywhere you can do this.

Here are some resources from other forums on the "remote" subject:

Also, I almost forgot... If Harmony's website hasn't been updated with info for the 622, techfan might try using the DishPlayer 942 selection. I didn't have to change a thing on my Harmony after upgrading from the 942 to 622.

Thanks

ThanksI don't know about the 6.0 but, I just "modified" a 6.2 for UHF control of TV2 on my parents' 622. Use the previously linked resources for additional information on the steps...
