Hi,

I really need to know the model number of your Insignia TV and which connections you are using between the Dish box and the TV to give you the correct answer. If you are connecting both cable and satellite, I believe it should be set-up as follows:

1. Connect cable feed to TV
2. Run auto channel scan on "cable" setting
3. Connect Dish box to TV and then try changing the "input" selection.

With the Dish box switched on to a channel number you know, try pressing the "INPUT" or "SOURCE" button on your Insignia TV remote repeatedly until you find the satellite feed. Once you have done so, you should be able to change satellite channels using the Dish remote.

If you need further assistance, please post back with the model number of your TV and details of the connections you are using on the back of the TV.

Regards,
BElectric

the code for an emerson320em1f is to hold the tv button at the top of your dish remote until all buttons flash red, then enter in 632#, then hit your satellite button, and everything should work

i just had this happen when my son sat on the remote and i have dish network too. i don't know if this will work for you but this is what i did- go under menu and go to antenna and make sure it is set to cable. then take your dish remote (as long as it is programmed to your tv) and press the satellite button at the top till it lights up for a second or so and if there is a second there where it switches to your satellite signal and goes off again, you have to take that one second to press the guide button and it will stay on your dish connection. wierd, but it has worked twice now for me.

The problem for me was the TV giving off IR signals that interfered with DISH's poorly designed remote. When the TV's room ambient light sensor was turned on and it became dusk outside the DISH remote would stop working. Moving the receiver away from the TV helps but the problem is not eliminated until the light sensor is turned off.
Until DISH corrects this poor design there may be no other viable solution.

Remote manufactures and service providers continuously add support for new TV products. If you have the following Satellite or Cable Systems, try these remote codes for Olevia HDTVs.

Also available is the Olevia Universal Learning Remote RC-LRN that offers component programming of most video hardware including your Cable or Satellite Receivers, VCR's, TiVo’s, DVD, Blu-Ray or even HD- DVD players. The learning remote is available at 866-965-3842

Have you tried contacting your dish people, maybe they can reset.

When dealing with satellite tv, you have to set the remote for satellite by setting the correct code for the satellite dish and pressing on the SAT button. Then, you have to set it for sound by pressing on the TV button and placing the correct code for the brank of TV.

In other words, you must set both sound and satellite to be able to control the channels and the sound. This is somewhat awkward for people with disabilities, but it can be taught.

I purchased a universal remote URC-R6 from Best Buy that someone else had said worked for them. With a little work, I have programmed it to take the place of both my remotes. Seems to be working fine!
