Has anyone setup their Dish Network remote to control their RX-V773? I have a Dish Network 32.0 UHF 2G remote. If so, what code did you use? I can get the Dish remote to turn off the AVR but it will not turn it back on again.

I had the same problem with my cable remote. I can turn the receiver off but I can not turn it on w the cable remote. I have to turn it on w the receiver remote. Neither Yamaha or cable co. could offer solution.

you do have to have a satellite dish. hope you have better luck than i did. i got one it did not work. sent it back and they sent me another one that also did not work. i have another receiver so i know it is not my system. There support team just said they knew it worked so I just took the loss.

Any remote like your Dish Network remote that can load other IR device profiles uses its own pre installed base of ID codes that have nothing to do with the devices themselves. They are numbers peculiar to that remote. Hence, your Dish Network remote uses 4 digit numbers, my Cablevision remote uses 5 digit numbers and they are all proprietary. If Dish Network didn't bother to create a 4 digit code specific to the Topping remote, there is no way to add one. Some remotes are learning remotes that are capable of mapping another remotes IR output to their own buttons. If your Dish Network remote can do that, you are good to go, otherwise, you may need to get a single unifying remote that can take over for you Dish Network remote and all others you own as well. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, or some other similar device that has an IR blaster built in, you can get a free app that can control virtually any IR device including air conditioners. The maker of the app even asks for data about remotes that he does not have codes for so he can help you get the Topping remote set up. I have not yet taken the trouble to do this and just use the Topping remote. I did find that the Toppings remote battery was a little low on voltage and have since replaced it with a new battery of the same size and the difference in usability of the remote is significant.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. They will tell you how it needs to be setup and how it works. There are no written instructions available even though they advertise it as a 2 reciever dish.

Im my application, the units are so close that the DISH box actually sees the IR signal from the other side of the room, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no IR passed from the unit. The only way to use a DISH remote would be if you use the UHF remote supplied with their dual channel products for the second room receivers. Hope this helps.

I cannot answer about those remotes. The users manual has specific instructions for programming other remotes to control the Polk's volume. It was easy to program my Dish Network remote. You will still need the Polk remote to control bass, other inputs and Bluetooth for the speaker.

Can you post the receiver id#? I tried purchasing a direct tv receiver and could not activate it. I was told to call Direct TV and give them the id# so they could verify the activation before I purchase. thank you

Once you have a dish setup for all your homes, then all you need to do is take your receiver from any location (ANY STATE)to any of your homes regardless the state and it will work, KEEP IN MIND if you don't call Direct-TV and have it updated to that local area you won't get local channels, it will be trying to pull in the other locations local channels in which you won't get either....... Really simple and we do this twice yearly ourself; we go between Arizona & Oregon in an RV that also have a Satellite Dish(tailgater type dome model) on top and it automatically locks onto the satellite needed, so we use same Receiver between AZ and OREGON and every where we go in between...... :) Once you have a dish setup for all your homes, then all you need to do is take your receiver from any location (ANY STATE)to any of your homes regardless the state and it will work, KEEP IN MIND if you don't call Direct-TV and have it updated to that local area you won't get local channels, it will be trying to pull in the other locations local channels in which you won't get either.......

Hi. I take the Dish Receiver from my Bedroom out to the RV for trips. It is model Vip222K made by Echostar. Do not use the Main DVR for this purpose. The dip swiches have to be set for Dish in the GM-1518. The receiver has to be downloaded to defualt and then programmed for the satelite. If you have problems, I can tell you point by point how to get Dish at a RV camp. Good luck.

I had no trouble using it with my Samsung TV. Actually, the remotes worked without have to enter any code, etc. I don't have a dish so I can't help you there. Sorry.

This is a pain with Dish. With that being said, I had to find a Dish Network dish that was already set up on a satellite, some say you can go to a local dealer, I don't know about that. Then I had to set it up with an active internet connection, after that point it was able to update the receiver and worked. If you hold down the * (star key) you can bypass the initial setup screen. Do a google search for "dish network bypass setup screen", you will find some good info. Good luck, hope this helps..

It is a 6.4 IR?UHF remote the same that comes from dish.. You will have to set the channel frequency code to your receiver. instructions included

As stated above, this remote will learn IR signals ONLY. The RF extender will transmit the IR signal learned by the remote into a RF signal for longer range. However, since the remote will not learn RF signals in the first place, than an extender is useless. As far as Dish Network is concerned, TV 1 transmits using an IR signal (this remote will work with that), however, TV 2 transmitts with an RF signal, as stated above, this remote WILL NOT learn a RF signal. I have been looking for a remote that will learn both IR and RF signals, however, I have so far had no luck. I hope this was helpfull. As stated above, this remote will learn IR signals ONLY.

Call dish network and they will walk you throught the initial set up. Also if you don't use the receiver at least once a month you will have to go through set up each time you use it. So be sure to turn it on and let it aquire satalite signal at least one time every month

It works for my Dish Receiver 222K on UHF as as well as IR. Once you program one remote don't follow the same directions for your next remote. Your #1 Primary Remote Address has been set. Press "Menu", "Menu". Write down the "PRA" No. for #1, then go on internet to mydish.com to add additional remote. It may not work for Vip211z. "Good Luck". If all fails call Dishnet at there 800#.

Reel2, it looks like you have got this satellite dvdr thing down pat. My problem with using Dish TV Guide for recording purposes it that I get a screen asking for a 3 digit code for the dvr. The screen says this number is in the users manual but I can't find it. Any ideas where I might find this number or get around this screen? I also cannot pause live tv - is this a function that is lost with satellite?

I had been using the 612 receiver in my RV for the last year, and just upgraded to the Hopper last week. So I would say you can use any receiver Dish has. When upgrading to the Hopper, they did need to put an extra cable box in the line. It seems to be a 4"x4"x3/4" box that connects two jacks on the dish to the one cable feeding the receiver. (leaving one jack to send signal back to the bedroom receiver if not using the Joeys) Something about feeding more power to the dish elements. I will say the images are better, big Seattle downpour last night, no image interference at all!
