HI. Here are some things that you can try.
Ensure:

1. You are not connected to the internet via a router

2. You are not on a wireless network

3. Any firewalls on your computer are disabled

4. Your USB cable and port are good, and the remote is not connected to a USB hub but right into the compter.


Now, please do the following:


1. Uninstall the software

2. Download it again at http://logitech.com/myharmony

3. Install

4. In your computer's add/remove programs, uninstall the Logitech Desktop Messenger

5. Take out the battery, press and hold the "OFF" button, and re-insert it. The remote will display "Safe Mode"

6. Connect your remote and log in to your account

7. Click "Downloads" at the top and select "Firmware". The firmware on the remote will update.

8. Click "Replace Remote" to conduct a connectivity check.

9. Update the remote.



That should get the remote working. :)

Where do i find INPUT SELECTon zenith tv sy2779dt,trying to hook up Wii and default Wii screen does not come up. manual says to change IS. don't have orig remote, only dish 500.is there a way to change IS...

Hello,
Most tv's have a physical button on the front and it will either be labeled input or source-source select. If thats not the case on your tv, look for a menu button and try to navigate through the tv menus until you find tv input or source select. If that still does not work, you can use your dish 500 remote and if you already use that to turn the tv on and adjust volume, you can probably use it to change the input. To do this, select the tv mode on your dish 500 remote, and then press the source or input button until you get to where you need to be. Once thats done, make sure you return your remote to sat mode or you will not be able to control the dish reciever. Hope this was helpfull to you.
Thanks

How do I progam my remote so it works with dish.. it seems to be stuck on only TV setting, not on SAT!

Hello, this is Matthew Gonzales with DISH Network. If the remote will not change from "TV" mode to "SAT" mode, try changing the batteries first. If changing the batteries makes no difference and you still can not get the remote to change to "SAT" mode, the remote is defective and needs to be replaced. If it does change to "SAT" mode, but is not working you can try putting system info on your screen, (power off the receiver using front panel button, the press "up" arrow on the front of receiver). When systeminfo is on your screen, on the remote press the "SAT"button one time, and then press the "record" button threetimes. Try pressing select to see if it is now working. You canalso try to hard reset your receiver. To perform a hard reset, you unplugthe receiver from its power outlet, wait 15 seconds, then plug it backin. Try reprogramming the remote again with the first part of theseinstructions. If the remote is still not working, it may be faulty. If this has not been resolved please feel free to email me at [email protected]. Hope this helps!

My new remote that came with the tv does not allow me to change channels, but my dish remote still allows me to change channels

Your dish remote is the only one that is compatible with the dish receiver. You're going to have to program all the functions you want to use to the dish remote. They are usually set up for all the normal functions, volume, power, dvr etc.

I have chnged from direct tv to dish how do i change settings on remote

Hey!

You would want to replace the current direct TV on your account with the dish, the following link shows how this is done:

http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=12378

If you have a dish network, you may have to make some changes in order for the harmony remote to control it. I found the link below helps but it didnt work exactly for mine so you may have to contact your service provider:

http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=12150

Hope this helps!
