My dish remote # 2 the select button will not work /
Hi there! My name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. It is my pleasure to help. Have you replaced the batteries? If you have not already replaced the batteries, please do so. If after replacing the batteries,no lights light up on the remote, most likely the remote is defective and will need to be replaced. For further assistance, you can reach me at:

Fan running continually on sky box
You don't state which model, but it may be that the fan is blocked with dust so is moving very little air. make sure that the box ix sitting on a hard surface so that the bottom air-vents are not blocked (e.g. by a carpet). On some Thompson models the fan does seem to run constantly.
Combining output from dish home distribution with ota antenna
You should have your system setup in the following manner below:
You also will only be able to receive the HD locals with a HD OTA antenna. It is possible that you will need to turn the satellite off in this room to view the OTA's effectively.
Also you should use a splitter as depicted in the picture by the red boxes to combine signals of this frequency. The blue box is the diplexer on the incoming satellite feed and the black box is the seperator that most dual tuners use. If yours does not utilize this device you will have another cable coming from the outside of the house to the back of the receiver. The location of the ports on the back of the receiver in my diagram may differ in position on your receiver so obviously connect them to the proper port. I hope this ressolves the issue and there is no need to seperaate the signal at the remote tv as it will only be a duplicate of the same signal you have connected already as OTA and the TV2 backfeed are of the same frequency range.
