How can I use my dish remote to work with my new T.V.

Which brand satellite dish you use? Gopakumar Gopalan Google

Becki Schuurman,

Our remotes can all function independently. If the family room is TV1, then you can definitely program the remote there and have no complications with the TV2 (As long as the frequencies are different). Keep in mind our remotes are not guaranteed to work all types of equipment, but we have many steps and options to get it working.

If you have any additional questions or need any assistance, just let me know here or at [email protected]!

There is no setup codes for Vizio TV with Dish Remote control.

press the sat button at the top then you should be back in control of the dish

Hello, you may have gotten this resolved already, but if not, here are some simple steps to get this resolved. Follow these simple steps on our website, and you will be good to go!!! For this also, you will want to be at TV1, in the system info screen. Menu twice with TV1 remote. :)

Had same problem - turned off Adaptive Lumina, Backlight control, and Ambient light sensors on the Vizio advanced picture settings and the Dish remote now works. Vizio was emitting an infared signal that interfered with the Dish remote signals with these settings on. TV still works and looks just fine... But best of all Dish remote works too.

If I understand you correctly, once you installed your new TV, your DISH remote doesn't allow you to change satellite channels. If this is correct, you will need to readdress the remote to the receiver. I have provided a link with these instructions. Included with the link is instructions for programming the remote to your TV.

I hope this helps.

I would be happy to help with that!

Whenever having a remote issue it's always best to post the model number of the remote in question, this can be found on the back of the remote. Usually issues with the remote are quickly fixed by readdressing it. Start by pressing the menu button, this can be found on the top left of the DISH Network remote, then press the numbers 6-1-3. We should not be on the system information screen, once there press the record button on the remote 3 times then use the remote to exit the menu.

If this doesn't fix the issue please visit: http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/remote-control for additional trouble shooting.

1. open the door on the right side of your receiver and press 'Sys Info
2. press record multiple times on your dish remote
3. press select
4. if this doesnt work change the batteries and try again
5. if this doesnt work call Dish for a new remote

Since you dont have a popular brand set you should try using the scan method. Here is a link with a video to help program your dishnetwork remote to work with your set. http://www.disheez.com/videos/dish-network-video/programming-dish-network-remote/
