What are The Codes for Dish Network Remote?
How to Program Your DISH Remote to Control Your TV and Other Devices:
If you have a DISH Network satellite TV service, you can use your DISH remote to control your DISH receiver, your TV, and other devices like a DVD player or sound system. This can make it easier to use all your devices without keeping track of multiple remotes. This article will show you how to program your DISH remote.
Resetting Your DISH Remote:
If your DISH remote only controls the power and volume on your devices, or if you have a new DISH receiver, you might need to reset your remote before programming it. Here’s how:
- Find the “SYS INFO” button on the front of your DISH receiver box and press it.
- On your DISH remote, press the “SAT” button. Listen for three beeps in a row.
- Press the “CANCEL” or “BACK” button on your remote to go back to watching TV.
If this doesn’t fix your remote issue, keep reading to learn how to program your remote to control different devices.
Programming a Newer DISH Remote (40.0 or Higher):
If your DISH remote has a model number 40.0 or higher, which came with Hopper, Joey, or Wally receivers, follow these steps to program it:
- Press the “HOME” button twice or the “MENU” button once on your remote.
- Using the arrow buttons, select “Settings” and press “OK.”
- Choose “Remote Control” from the list.
- Under “DEVICES,” pick the device you want to control with your DISH remote, like your TV.
- Select “Pairing Wizard” and follow the instructions to finish programming your remote.
- Once programmed, try using your DISH remote to control your TV or other device to ensure it works.
Programming an Older DISH Remote (32.0 or Lower):
For older remotes with model numbers 32.0 or lower that came with ViP receivers, use this method:
- Point your DISH remote at the device you want to control, like your TV.
- Press and hold the “mode” button for that device (like “TV”) until all the mode buttons light up, then let go.
- Press the “POWER” button and wait for the mode button you pressed to blink.
- Repeatedly press the “UP” arrow button, waiting a few seconds between each press to see if your device turns off.
- Once your device turns off, press the “#” button to save that programming code.
- Test your remote to make sure it’s controlling your device correctly.
Finding Remote Codes:
DISH remotes need specific programming codes to control different devices. While the Pairing Wizard on newer remotes automatically finds the correct code, you may need to enter the code on older remotes manually. Here’s how to find the code for your device:
- On a computer, go to the DISH Remote Model website for your remote version.
- Click the link for 3-digit remote codes.
- Use the drop-down menus to select your remote model number, the type of device, and the brand.
- Note the 3-digit codes provided, especially ones with a high “Success Count.”
With the code, follow the steps in the previous section to program your older remote, entering the code when prompted. You may need to try a few codes to find one that works with your device model.
Conclusion:
By programming your DISH remote to control multiple devices, you can simplify your TV-watching experience. Newer DISH remotes make programming easy with on-screen pairing wizards, while older remotes may require manually looking up and entering device codes.
If you’re still having trouble getting your DISH remote to control your devices, you can contact DISH customer support for assistance or to see if you qualify for an equipment upgrade. With your DISH remote adequately programmed, you can control everything from a single remote.
