We have a 42 LCD. We're using the Dish Network and it works great until night time. After a dozen attempts last night we've determined that the remote only works during daylight hours or at night with the light on in the room. Any thoughts?

It sounds like there is an interference issue, we can change your remote to a UHF frequency to resolve this. Feel free to reply to me for more assistance!

Uhf pro fcc id DKNFSK01 MY REMOTE WILL NOT WORK AT ALL I'VE PUT NEW BATTERIES IN IT AND IT LIGHTS UP BUT WILL NOT WORK THE RECIEVER AT ALL ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT THAT YOU

Hey edwards879,

It sounds like the remote needs to be addressed to the receiver.

I have provided the steps below to assist you with that, you can also check out this link: http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/remote-setup

Addressing Remote to Receiver:

1.) Go to System Info screen.
2.) Hold down the SAT button until all mode lights light up.
3.) Enter a number between 1 and 15 using the numeric keypad on the remote.
4.) Press the pound (#) button.
5.) Once the SAT button blinks three times, press record.
6.) Test remote and see if works.

If you reprogram it and it still doesn't work the remote may need to be replaced. If that's the case or if you have any other questions let me know!

My Dish 5.0 IR remote won't program to my new TV, it's an Emerson, the model number on the back is- LC320EMXF. I've tried holding the TV button until all the top lights flashed and then...

lrsnihe

You were attempting to perform a power scan initially. The second procedure is manually attempting to address the remote to your TV. I will give you the procedures again so you can try one more time. Emerson TV is one brand we have a low percentage of success getting our remotes to work. If it still doesn't work, we could try replacing the remote.

TV code: 623, 667, 666, 233, 516, 537, 544, 642, 655, 699, 000, 999, 888, and 720.

Remotes: Basic (Television Only)
  1. Turn the Television On.
  2. Press and hold the clear TV button for six seconds until the LED flashes.
  3. Enter the three-digit code using the buttons on the number pad.
  4. Press #. Note: The LED will flash three times.
  5. Test functionality with the TV.
  6. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.
Remote Power Scan: Basic Remote (Television Only)
  1. Turn the Television On.
  2. Press and hold the clear TV button for six seconds until the LED flashes.
  3. Press and release the red TV Power button.
  4. Press and release the Up or Down Arrow on the remote until the television turns off once every second.
  5. After the television turns off, press and release the # button.
  6. Test functionality with the TV.
  7. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.

Today, while watching tv on the Dish, tv suddenly started powercycling. I unplugged it, waited, and then tried a DVD -- worked fine. Tried Dish again, power cycled again -- on off on off, 1/2 second of...

If you are using a powerstrip may not be supplying enough power to run the LG HDTV and your HD receiver. If you are using a powerstrip make sure the receiver is plugged directly into the wall. Otherwise this may be a grounding issue please reply if this doesn't work and we can look into some other possibilities.

3 digit codes for 42" lg lcd tv for dish network

We would be happy to help you with getting your DISH Networkremote to control your LG TV. We're going to 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 LG TV; here are some of the codes we currently have: 627, 505, 520, 506, and 581, then press the pound (#) button. To check if the code works try severaldifferent functions on the remote to make sure it will properly operate yourTV. Remember that some codes may not be compatible with your equipment. If thisis the case, try the other codes listed for your LG TV until youfind one that is compatible with it.

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

I have a 42 in Insignia LCD that I have only had

If a problem like this should develop within the retailer's return period, it is recommended that the TV be returned for an exchange.

Remote control code

The last few months, directv has been upgrading the software on their receivers to include Polaroid codes. Don't know if they will work with Dish, but the newest codes added are 10765, 10865. 11276, 11314, 11316, 11326, and 11327. Some Directv codes work with Dish. Worth a try.
