Remotes will not work

Is your remote on the right function. At the top you can choose between tv, vcr, dvd, sat, aux, and possibly others. Before trying to use the remote to control the television you have to press tv. To use the remote to operate and control the satellite you have to press sat first and etc.

Hi,
Lets check remote is working or not.
Watch remote front through any digital camera and press buttons on remote, if you see blinking light on remote front that means remote is sending infra red signals and if no blinking light then remote is defective and no way to fix it.
Thanks.

First I would check to make sure you have fresh batteries. If it still doesn't work with new batteries try to re-address your remote to your receiver and tv.

For the 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.

If successful the number selected in step 3 will appear in the System Info screen under Remote Address.

For the TV:

Would need to know what kind of TV it is. The following link will help you address the remote to the TV. Click the remote codes hyperlink in Step 1 to get to the codes.

Hey brandonericm, sounds like the remote may need to be readdressed to the receiver. I can definitely help with that. Here are some steps to help you:

1. Access System Information from main TV.
2. Note the number on the bottom by Primary/Secondary Remote Address.
3. Hold SAT on TV2 remote until all lights on top come on.
4. Let go and while SAT is blinking enter a number between 1-15 and press #.
5. Press record 3 times and the number should change to the one you chose.

Have you replaced the batteries in the remote that is not working. If batteries are low, the lights will still light up but will not operate the functions for the remote. When you press and release the SAT button, what happens? If you try to press the SELECT button, does the TV button light or the SAT button? If you have already tried these steps, you may need to readdress the remote to the receiver. I have provided a link with the instructions on readdressing the remote. I hope this helps.

Readdressing the remote, step 5:

Hello walker3putt, my name is Michael Hurst with DISH Network. Is this remote an IR or UHF? There are ways of reprogramming the remote to the receiver. If this is and IR remote for an independent receiver then you can try pulling the smartcard out and System Information will come up on the TV. Look at the Remote Address on the TV and write down the number. Then Hold Sat until all lights on top of remote light up. Let go of the Sat button and pick a number from 1-15 and then press # and Record. Your remote address should change. If there isn't a smartcard in the receiver then try the menu button on the front of the receiver. If this is a secondary remote and is UHF you will have to take remote 2 to the room where the receiver is located and follow the same steps.

It has the instructions and all of the codes. If it doesn't work, it's possible your t.v. is too new for your remote.

i did everything i could at the moment but i got the soultion hold down the SAT button and if your control has a [green R] press it at the same time then it should swith to sat hold it down for like 30SEc it works trust me.............

maybe you programmed it with the wrong code sometimes that happen try the other codes that come with it make sure everything works before you think u got the right one.
