Am I askin' for a headache?

I'm thinking about adding another Dish networks receiver box to the one I already have.

Here's the config I have now:
Dedicated computer with two PVR150 cards. One of the cards connects to my Dish Network's STB. I have a USB-UIRT configured to change the channel on the Dish STB. The other PVR card is connected to an antenna in my attic. I would use that 2nd card to connect to another Dish Networks STB.

Can the USB-UIRT to change the channel on both boxes? I thought i heard this was doable, but I can't find the topic.

Thanks.

Well, at least you will have pain relief options.

I use to use my system with Bell Express vue in Canada. I think they used toi use the same hardware as dish did. I was controlling 2 Bell receivers with a single USB-UIRT. Most of this hardware allows you to assign an address to your remote and receiver. Usually 1 to 15. This way, a "1" command for receiver 5 is ignored on receiver 6 for example. So in a sence, you're setting both receiver boxes up with different IR command sets. Your Dish manual should tell you how to change the address of the STB.

Thanks Lucas, I'll look for my Dish manual.
