TV2 should always be crystal clear, and the remote should work perfectly! Here's some TV2 combinations/fixes.

    TV2 stopped working after approximately 12 - 18 months? Check diplexers. If that's not it, check for hidden splitters somewhere in the line.

    What if Air 60 is no good? Try 22 or 24. Lower channels have stronger signals.

    If TV2 is going through a modulator, use Cable 80 to avoid a poor Cable 73.

    Use Air 60 or comparable "good" Air channel to combine OTA and TV2. Run them into a splitter, backwards. It combines them and your TV will get them all together. You may need to manually program some channels in your TV.

    This solves poor response issues of the TV2 remote.

Increasing implementation of wireless devices has created some difficult issues with the UHF, TV2 remote control.

More often than not, when a TV2 UHF remote is having problems, there is a wireless router nearby.

In another peculiar case, the arrangement that has TV1 and TV2 located in opposite corners of the house, usually one in a basement corner.

 The cause is really no matter, as long as we have a solution.

        If using a 622/722's 6.2 or 6.3 remote, try band "B" 

      1. On a 6.2 or 6.3 remote, open battery cap.

      2. Flip the switch on the left down to B.

      3. Then go to your receiver, put it into "System Info" screen.

      4  Press record on the remote.

      5. On screen you should see the TV address switch from XX TV 2 Band A to XX TV2 Band B.

        Add a piece of coax, several foot long and change the positioning of the remote antenna. If that doesn't work try stripping a foot or two of the shielding from the coaxial cable used to extend the antenna.

       Move the antenna to the TV2 room with the remote.

     Simply moving the TV2 remote antenna from the back of the receiver, to the back of the TV2, at the TV2 location, provides another solution.

     Moving the antenna reduces the distance, and potential interference and noise, that needs to be overcome by the signal. By moving the antenna to the room the remote is in, the distance between the antenna and signal may now be easily under 10 foot.

Across the home, that signal would need to be a lot stronger.

So we get the signal to the to the antenna quickly, while it is strong, then, send it through the house via RF shielded cable (coax), where it arrives quite nicely to do it's job in a punctual fashion.

     Use a standard cable splitter, in reverse, to combine "TV2 out" with "Remote ant" at receiver.

         1. Run coax from "TV2 Out" and "Remote Antenna", into the outputs of a splitter, resulting in a combination of the signals.

          The resulting output of the splitter has both signals and is now sent to the TV2 location, either by dedicated cable or through a diplexer.

    At TV2 location use a splitter to separate the two signals.

         2. Attach splitter to incoming line. Use coax from one output to the TV 2.

          Attach the TV2 remote antenna to the other output of the splitter.

          Now the antenna for the #2 remote is in the same room as the remote.

Note: In rare cases, this works better by changing the inputs and outputs on the splitter. This will work to some degree, no matter how you connect to the splitters.
