Ways To Program Remote to your TV
It is quite often a thing that some of the remote keys are not working with your TV or maybe completely not working. This does not mean that the remote is useless, it only needs some sort of programming.
The dish remotes are basically of two types-
- The remotes having model number- 40.0, 50.0, 52.0, and 54.0. They are known as network hopper model. Programming with these models is much simpler than the programming of older ones.
- The remotes having model number- 21.1, 21.0, 20.1, 20.0 and below. These models are the older models whose programming is much trickier.
If you are not sure of your model no. you can see it in the manual provided. If somehow your manual is lost then you can search for images of dish remote in your favourite browser and compare it with the remote you are having. In new remote models, the menu is replaced by home icon key with more cool features of recording audio for the searching channel. You can have a look at Dish Remote Guide to know about the model number of your Dish Remote.
Before moving forward make sure your dish remote is properly updated with new batteries. Sometimes it is just the battery issue that your remote is not working. Make sure your remote address is unique and no one else is using your address, if you share same address then you may face the problem of frequently receiving some sorts of a message that “Your channel will be shut down within 30 minutes”, or sometimes automatically switching new channel without using the remote. To avoid these messages, avoid sharing of your TV address.
