No,the Dish Network satalite box signals require it own remote for it INFER RED INPUT and INFER RED OUTPUT signals.Call Dish Network customer service ask for a another original Dish Network remote.U pay $5 or $6 dollars a month for the satalite box as rental.They should wave the fee or charge u very little for a another remote.

To whom it may concern,

Contact Dish Network customer service and make them aware that you have misplaced your remote control for TV2, make sure they're readily aware that it is for TV2 and NOT TV1.

Once the remote makes it to your home, you will program it with the following steps.

1. Load the batteries into the remote.
2. Point the remote at the television that you'd like it to work the volume/power for.
3. Press and hold the small "tv" button at the top of the remote until all the lights at the top start flashing.
4. Press the small red power button once.
5. Slowly press down on the directional pad, over and over until the television turns itself off.
6. Press the # key at the bottom of the remote. The tv button will flash red 3 times, locking in your code.
7. Press the red power button on the remote to ensure that the remote has successfully programmed itself to your television.

YOU ARE NOT DONE.

The remote is now only set up to control the power and volume of the television you've linked it to. It is NOT linked to your Dish receiver, therefore it will not control your satellite services. You will now need to go to the location where the Dish Network receiver is located.

On the TV 1 REMOTE, press menu two times.

Now, USING THE TV 2 remote,
1. Press and hold the "Sat" button until all the keys light up.
2. Press "13" onto the keypad
3. Press # at the bottom right of the remote.
4. Press the red record button in the middle of the remote.

Your remote is now set up on RF, linked to your Dish receiver, and programmed to your desired television.

Best of wishes,
Dish guy

Dish Network TV1 remote doesn't work with new TV

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]!

Hello there!!!!! If your remote is giving you troubles, you can try a power scan, which scans through each code for the tv until you reach the correct one. Just follow the link provided below, and begin the scan. Remember when you are done programming your remote, press the SAT button on the top left of the remote. Hope this helps!!!

I just programmed my dish #2 remote control to a tv. The remote is not working. I cannot access the guide menu "etc". What do I need to do? This is a second tv and the remote worked just fine before....

It sounds like the remote would need to be programmed to the receiver itself. It may have lost it's programming when the TV code was put in.

To program remote to Satellite:
1. Access System Information screen.
2. Note the # on the bottom where it was Secondary Remote Address.
3. Hold SAT until all buttons on top of the remote light up.
4. Let go and while it's blinking enter a number between 1-15 and press #
5. Press record 3 times and test remote.

Need remote code for LG 32lcd350 TV for dish 3.0 remote

Hi there my name is Kimberly Escobar with DISH Network Customer Support. I understand you need the codes to program a DISH Network remote model 3.0 to an LG T.V. Some of the codes we have are 678, 506, 520,123, 000, 512, and 213. To integrate the code into the remote you would need to press and hold the clear T.V button at the top until all the other top buttons light up in red, then once you see them light up you would need to enter one of your codes followed by the pound key (#) for example if you choose code 678 it would be 678#. After you press pound the T.V button will flash in red 3 times after that try the remote and make sure it functions with your T.V. I hope this is helpful to you. You can also view this link http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/power-scan-instructions which contains information on how to program your remote to your T.V using a different procedure. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact us directly at 1800-333-DISH thank you.
