I bought a new TV and need to program my Dish network remote control

Hey scrappy32847,

Congrats on the new TV! I can definitely assist you with this and get it taken care of. As I don't know what TV you have I don't have any codes off hand available.

You can check out this link: http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/remote-setup to get the codes to program your remote. I have also listed the steps below to program that remote to your new TV.

Addressing Remote to TV:

1.) Press and hold the clear TV button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and TV light will be blinking.
3.) Enter code and press #. The TV button should flash 3 times.
4.) Try functions (Volume, Power, etc..) and see if working.
5.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

If you need any additional assistance you can reach me here or at [email protected]

I bought a new Sony ex4/40 tv and programmed my DISH Network remote control for it. Everything works fine when the all the lights are on in the room. Can't change the channels or go to the guide function...

Hello, the problem that you are having is fairly simple to solve. The tv is causing interference with the remote. It sounds like you're at TV1, and TV1 remote is an IR remote. You need to get a UHF remote, and that will stop the interference so that you can continue to enjoy your tv! You can e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns.

I have Dish Network TV. I just put an older Orion tv in that

We would be happy to help you with getting your DISH Networkremote to control your Orion TV. Start by pressing and holding the TVbutton located on the top of your remote until all mode button back lights comeon, and then release. Use the number buttons to enter the codes for your TV; here are some of the codes we currently have: 720, 744, 748, 722, 694, and 721. Press the pound (#) button. To check that the code works try severaldifferent functions on the remote to make sure it will properly operate the TV.Remember that some codes may not be compatible with your TV. If this isthe case, try the other codes listed for your Orion until you findone that is compatible with it.

We hope this helps and thank you for being a valued DISH Network customer!

Pick up remote #2 press and hold sat key until it blinks press record 3 times . press red power button and if tv2 light goes off and on the remote should work again for tv2 .

I bought a Dish remote for a2nd tv and cant get it

strmason,

Are you still having problems with programming the remote to your receiver? I am assuming it is TV 1? You should have a green tab at the bottom of the remote with a "green 1" and no lettering after the 1. If you have the correct tab on the bottom, you should be on the "System Information" screen, showing on your TV, from the receiver. At the bottom of the screen you will have "primary and secondary remote addresses" with numbers in the white boxes. You can press the "record" button on the remote to address the remote to the receiver. I hope this helps.

Setting my Dish network remote to new tv

customz28,

Since you have tried several codes for your TV, the next procedure to attempt would be a power scan. I have provided a link with the instructions. The link is:

I hope this helps.

Remote Problem

Remote codes are programmed into the remote at time of and since the TV was manufactured after the remote it will be unable to have the code as TV manufacturers change codes often. You can try having a 20 or 21 remote sent to you but ensure it will work with your receiver. These remotes are programmable and ar able to learn functions of other remotes. Thanks for using Fix Ya.
