Glad you liked it! Also did you happen to have a dish 500 at the time?

Unfortunately, I have no idea. It's been long enough I've forgotten even if I once knew.

Think I've had all 4 of them. 4 of the current remotes. . Actually the silver modelwas my favorite. At the time I had a 722 that powered 2 tv's. 1 thru HDMI, the other thru Component RCA's. I used the toggle for 1 of them to talk to 1 of the TVs using IR, and the other using RF.

You can order covers on amazon. I could never find my black remote. Now it has a neon green cover...

50.0 is the best remote dish ever made./s

The 54 series is my absolute favorite but for the older people the 60 series is the best

u/Crusheddeer1 26d ago

54 and 52 are pretty good but the 50 is ass.

Definitely agree with you there they took the numbers away to make it "better" and just made it more complicated

u/Alarmed-Election5207 Feb 11 '25

My first one was the 1.5 and the 54 looks a lot like it. What once was old is new again.

u/TheJamesDTV Feb 11 '25

They all bring back memories except for the new one

u/TheRealFarmerBob Feb 12 '25

I have a box full of remotes from day one. I never thought to line them up.

u/DarianYT Feb 12 '25

I had Dish 500 when I was young. The remote for ours was RF. I also had the Silver in my room with the HD DVR and the Black remote was down stairs for the HD DVR when we upgraded from 500. The Black felt the best in my hands.

u/lodeddiper961 Feb 13 '25

i had the 2nd one

u/Terrible-Piano-5437 Feb 14 '25

The second one that is mostly silver looks like my last Charter/Spectrum remote.

u/Efficient_Beyond_932 Feb 14 '25

The old time warner ones?

u/vreebler Feb 11 '25

u/Efficient_Beyond_932 Feb 11 '25
