I can't get the remote to control the tv...it did

erify the remote is a DISH Network remote. Look for the DISH Network logo on the bottom of the remote and Mode buttons or lights at the top. Why?
We do have the codes for all DISH Network remotes and would be happy to help you with your DISH Network manufactured remote. Please contact the manufacturer of your remote for further assistance. Detailed instructions may be included in the owners' manual that came with your equipment. If not, there may be a toll-free technical support number listed.




Press and hold the correct Mode button (about six seconds) until all mode button backlights come on, then release.
Use the number buttons to enter the three digit number (four digit for AUX mode) corresponding to the equipment. The light will blink off after each digit is entered and then return to a steady light.
Press the POUND (#) button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times.
To verify the code works, press the mode button. Then have the customer try several different functions for that equipment. Some codes may provide partial function, or respond differently than the button's titled function. Try the other codes listed for that device until you find one that offers more complete functionality.
Place the remote code in the customer's account notes.
If the remote still does not operate the device, perform the Power Scan. If still no operation, it may not be compatible with that piece of equipment.
Put the remote back in satellite mode by pressing and releasing the SAT mode button
