My wife and I live with my daughter and her husband. We recently moved into a home in Tampa FL. At our last home, we had dish network. We had 7 TV’s at one time and on every one, we were able to control every function of all the various brands of tv with the Dish remote. Now, 3 of our TV’s need 2 remotes to operate. Why?

Contact your TV band, they will better assist you.
What is a “tv band”? I assume it’s supposed to be “tv brand”… What should I say? Thx.
