Hi, I'm new here, and did a search to see if this topic had been posted. With my current set ups, I have one a 1131 decoder as a secondary decoder. When I had it installed, the remote which came with it, model B3, picked it up as TV2, and worked fine. In the last week though, the remote has switch itself to TV1. How exactly can I switch it back to TV2?

Hi Crazydude, welcome to the forum.

If it's the remote I'm thinking of, you need to press the 'shift' button followed by the 'exit' (also 'TV2') button.

This would have happened because the 'shift' button was pressed followed by the 'i' (also used to select TV1) button.

Thanks man, can't belive it's so simple. I must have switched it by accident at some stage. I've been carting my A3 remote from the lounge to the bedroom for a week now.

WHat would have made the programmers pick those 2 buttons for this functionality??

Both are used extensively for other things ---- which means it is easy to incorrectly switch modes indadvertently


Surely there are better options available?

Welcome to the forum semaJCA, glad we could help.

At the top of each forum section is a section called the stickies.
Have a look at Remote control manuals in this Remote Controls Forum.

I don't see any manual in the Standard Decoder Forum stickies for the 1131, but you will find some technical assistance info at https://care.dstv.com/main.aspx?ID=1692
