I recently switched from Digital to Dish Network. I have my main receiver (TV1) in the master bedroom, TV2 is in my living room. TV2 won't work without TV1 being on, and when I switch channels from TV1, TV2 changes as well. Is there a way to fix this so the person in my living room doesn't have to watch what I'm watching? I've tried to find the answers in their monster sized manual but can't figure it out.

you are in the wrong mode.
on the front of the receiver you can change it. Or going through the menu, you can change it.
otherwise call your installer, dealer or dish.
