To address the remote to the receiver, you do need to be on the System Info screen. You can accomplish this by pressing the Menu button on the old remote 2 times or by pressing the System Info button on the receiver for certain receiver models. Once you are on the System Info screen just follow the instructions below. On a Dish Network Remote Press and hold the sat button down on the new remote until all the buttons light. release the sat button it should be blinking. press the rec button 3 times. your new remote should now work your Dish Network Receiver.
We do not have a timer option on the remote to place the receiver in sleep mode. The only timer options are for setting up recordings for movies and programs. Sleep mode can be setup for you TV but not the DISH receiver.
A DISH Network receiver can only work with a unique Smart card. The card in the DISH Network receiver that you are referring to would be the smart card.
You can program your DISH remote to work on your TV and other electronic components but unless you have codes or instructions on how to a universal remote to the receiver, we don't have codes specifically to operate in that manner. I would contact the manufacturer of your remote.
It depends on which Dish receiver you have, but in most cases hit the 'GUIDE' button on your Dish remote and look for 'List:All Chan' on your TV screen.
Kirstie from DISH Network here & I would be more then happy to help you with your question. Are you referring to simply needing a new remote because your old one is not functioning very well, or do you mean us possibly sending you a whole new, different version of the remote control? It is definitely possible to send a new remote if your old remote has stopped working, & it could also be a possibility to upgrade your remote it would just depend on what type of receiver you currently have. Once I am aware of the type of receiver you have, I can check & see if there is another remote that is compatible with the receiver model.
As long as it is a Dish Network receiver that is current, it is allowed. However, it has no effect on monthly charges if you choose to use your own receiver.
To program your DISH Network remote to your TV there are a few different DISH Network remote codes that you can try & will need in order to successfully program your remote to the TV. The DISH Network remote codes for your Curtis Mathes TV will be one of the following, 516, 531, 595, or 253. If you are unsure how to perform the steps to program
The codes we here at DISH Network have & would use to attempt to program the DISH Network remote with your Olevia TV would be, 506 or 127.
My Dish Network receiver is connected to my home LAN and the internet via TCP/IP for remote control of my DVR, on-demand movie downloads, etc. IIRC, there's a place in the Dish OnLine menu to get the receiver to request an IPv4 address from a DHCP server. If there's no IP address, then there's no remote control, online movies, etc. I'd bet that DirecTV has a similar setup.
You may not have your Dish satellite receiver on the correct channel if it is a duo (dual receiver). You will need to tune it to either 60 or channel 73. Also, make sure your power to your Dish Network receiver is on -- for the Dish TV duo receiver, you should see a light for TV2 and TV1.
"A Dish Network receiver is connected to a television through something that is called a Coaxial cable, which is usually located on the back of a television."
