I Purchased a DISH 21.0 UHF pro and a DISH 8.0 UHF remote contorls. And I have original DISH 6.3 UHF pro remote that came with my dual tuner DVR receiver (DISH 622). I also have a IR only DISH remote for tuner 1.
1) DISH 6.3 UHF remote has a A/B switch. B gives longer range (works from longer distances). It works in UHF mode for tuner 2. If the key is flipped to '1' then it only works in IR mode. I am using this to control tuner 2 with switch position in B and it works reasonable well through out the house.
2) DISH 21.0 remote has a IR/UHF switch but no A/B switch to increase the range. It is internally fixed to A. The key can be changed to tuner 1 by flipping it. I am using this remote to control tuner 1 in UHF mode remotely from rooms that are not too far from receiver. I wish it had a A/B switch then I would have used it in higher transmit strenght mode. i.e. positon B.
3) DISH 8.0 remote seem to be fixed to tuner 2 ( the key does not look removable) and it has a IR/UHF switch. No A/B switch to increase UHF range and no way to use it with tuner 1. I bought this to use it as second tuner 2 UHF remote. But since my DISH 6.3 is set to B so I cannot use this remote at all. I can use this if I set my 6.3 remote to A position but then I would loose the longer range. So this remote is basically not useable for my situation. I wish I had purchased another 6.3 remote instead of the 8.0
4) I have tried increasing the remote's xmit strenght by following instructions on the web but it has only limited success. I have not been able to get the strentgh quite as high as 'B'. Even 'B' is not exactly as high a strength as I would prefer.
Hope this helps as the DISH network customer service/technical help guys are not all quite fully up on how all these remotes work.

This remote was bought as a Christmas gift to my father because he couldn't ever replace all his remotes with a single universal remote (due to the need for line of sight to the Dish Network box, without UHF). Lucky for my father, and me, they offer this remote.
It's a bit annoying programming the remote. Takes a bit of getting used to. Each time I need to program a new key it requires me to program all the old keys as well. Seems like it doesn't have memory beyond one programming session per device. Also, the TV/Video button cant be programmed correctly for our TV. Thankfully I was able to repurpose another button (in my case the DVR button) while on TV control to function as the tv/video button fully.
Overall this remote could use some better instructions, and I would love if new buttons could be appended to the currently programmed buttons, however this remote fills a difficult niche and it solve many issues for my family.

I had the VIP-722k receiver set up with an IR remote in the living room and a UHF remote upstairs to control the second TV. Everything worked great with this setup until I bought a new plasma TV for the living room. The plasma outputs some crazy IR interference and caused the IR remote to only work intermittently. To get around the IR interference issue (without returning my awesome new plasma) I bought this UHF remote.
This is the official Dish brand remote and it came with easy instructions for pairing with the receiver. Everything was set up quickly and now I'm rocking two UHF remotes. Since it uses radio waves instead of infrared, you don't have to point the remote at the receiver. I love that aspect of it and quite honestly probably would have loved the remote if I had bought it before having plasma IR issues. It works just like a regular IR remote, with no lag or missed button pushes.
Five stars because its the official Dish remote, its cheap, and it does what a remote is supposed to do.

Replacement Remote
I bought this as one of two replacement remotes I needed for my Dish Network receivers. It worked straight out of the box, I have not tried any of the new functions of the remotes.

Worked fine with Dish Box
Worked perfectly well from the get-go. Range is not quite as good as the original remote, occasional excessive hand gestures are required by all in all not bad.
