I want the DISH satellite box to work as the control. When it goes into sleep mode, will it power everything else down?

Maybe. I use a laptop as the control and put in hibernation instead of sleep mode. It depends on how much power is needed to maintain the satalite sleep mode. There is a threshold adjustment to set necessary power level to power down the outlets being controlled.

That's a little tricky. Most devices that "go to sleep" still draw some small amount of current. The LCG3 does have a sensitivity adjustment you can use and that may allow you to compensate for the slight draw. I have mine connected to my computer to turn off my two monitors when the tower is turned off. However, the LCG3 is plugged into a UPS, we have very flaky power, and every time the UPS kicks in the monitors come on for a brief period even thought the computer does not come on.

Some Dish satellite receivers have a hard disk drive in them. These drives remain powered up even though the unit is turned "off". The unit also is receiving software updates when turned off. Most likely this device should not be your control.

I'm not certain about that. I think the power strip monitors the current draw from the control outlet, and if it drops below a certain amount, it triggers the shut-down. I can only suggest that you give it a try and see if it works the way you want it to. Otherwise, you can always use a different device as the control.

SLONamd - I do not know if the "sleep" mode will trigger the power off - I use this with my Verizon FIOS box. However, I turn off the box (using the remote) and it powers everything down - wish I could be of more assistance.

*Integrated ATSC/NTSC/QAM tuners as far as the sleep timer I have not seen documentation showing it does or does not but I believe it does.

I don't think so. I found it useful to turn on stations selectively without opening the control box. If you want to turn the whole system on and off, just open the box and do it.

The only control you are ever going to get with Dish remote is power on/off and volume control-sorry

If the DISH satellite receiver has a signal output using RCA cables, should work fine. If the tv has a coax input.

I have dish and even knowing the code for it it would not work. Using separate remotes.

No, unless both happen to be on the same frequency (not likely) - you would need to select either the TV or Cable button to choose the device you want to control. Not sure it is the best way to go, but I just turn the TV on/off and leave the cable box on all the time. I have heard cable boxes use just about the same amount of power when they are off (actually "stand-by") as when they are on.

You get everything you need. The dish, the base, element arm with elements. Dish must be attached to the mechanism with supplied screws. You also get the control box, power brick and plug-in, connecting wires, and I think perhaps even one co-axial cable (but its been a year, not sure about that). At first I assembled the whole thing, mounted it to a pallet, and connected via cable to my RV. You only need the control box hooked to power while it aims itself at the satellites. Once aimed, you can shut the power off. Ran it on the ground, that way for a month before mounting it on the roof of my RV. Very, very satisfied over the last year!

My receiver does seen to turn off or go into to sleep mode. After about an hour of non use, the transmitter is unable to connect with the receiver which is very frustrating. My yard is big and our dog is very good, until he isn't and then the darn thing doesn't work. Help?

no, use the one that if it is off, the opthers should also be off. Like choose the computer as the control because of that is off, the printer, speakers and everything except the modem (always on) and router (always on) should be off. i.e. pick the item that when it goes off, so should the rest. For a TV, put your DVR on in an always on slot, the tv in the controller and the speakers, game player and dvd player in the ones being controlled.

We got one for our motor home, but it should work the same way. Dish was excellent in walking us through the process once your satellite dish and receiver are hooked up.

All I can say is that I attached the cable to the receiver and had dish activate it. and all is working just fine. hope that helps some. Good luck to you.

James,I'm in the process to get Harmony 550. I was wondering about Dish network DVR buttons, specially "skip back" & "skip fwd". Are they working with your dish DVR? I checked a lot of universal remote controls, none of them worked. Thank You

Yes. It's fully automatic. If the channel you select is on a different satellite it tunes it. You cannot even notice it changed. Also the dish is larger and signals seem to be more robust

On my TV the sleep timer is accessible via the menu. There is no sleep button on the remote.

Hopefully the Numbers will tell you. I had the old control so I could match it to the picture of the one I needed. That's how I knew it was right. What ever the old control had, this replacement has and I never looked to see if it had a sleep mode on it or not. I would think the description of the replacement control would tell you that, did you check to see? I know it perfectly replaces the original control. Wonderful for me.

I have direct tv. I have it connected from the dish box to the receiver to the tv. I turn on the direct box and tv , pause then turn the receiver. after that no problems. I always have to turn on the receiver or it will not pass through without doing that . after I turn on the receiver and everything is running I can turn off the receiver and it will pass through so I am listening to just the tv. I hope you understand what I just wrote.....
