Things You'll Need
- Dish Network remote control is one of the most popular remote controls available in the market today.

- TV remote control
Step 1 – Go to the TV
First, ensure that your TV has been connected to a socket and its power is on. As for the TV, with its normal remote, point it at the TV and switch it on using the power button intentionally. Make sure that when you turn on the TV it works and shows a picture. This helps make sure that the TV is in the right state for the Dish Network remote connection process.
Step 2 – The second step is to look for the TV Input button which is usually located on the main buttons of the device.
Observe the buttons or controls found on your Dish Network Satellite remote control. Find a button marked “TV Input” and accompanied by a picture of an actual TV. This is the button that we will have to use to program the Dish remote to control power and any other aspects of the TV such as the volume.
Step 3 – Turn the TV input mode on Once you are through with the basic installation and setting up of the system, the next thing you need to do is to turn the TV input mode on.
Aim your Dish satellite remote squarely at your television set. Finally, the TV input button must be pressed for three seconds while holding it down. In the above remote control, a green light should be visible at the top region of the device. It is on the green light that you find out that you have programmed the Dish remote into a TV control mode.
Step 4 – Choose the TV Manufacturer In this step you need to select the manufacturer of the TV that you want to buy.
If you are still holding down the TV Input button, then to select your TV’s manufacturer, use the Dish remote arrow or channel up/down buttons. Press the channel up button and your Dish remote will automatically scan for various TV makers including LG, Sony, Samsung, and many more. Once your TV maker appears, press the TV Input button. Now at this point, your Dish remote is in programming mode for the specific TV brand that you have.
Step 5 – The final step in the testing process is to check and ensure that the volume of the device is controlled properly.
Take your Dish remote and point it toward your television and then press the + or – buttons that are on the remote. This should now adjust the volume levels of your TV, and you should see that your remote has control over the TV volume. If the volume has not been set properly, repeat step 3.
The TV power test is the sixth step in the process of influencing a community through TV advertisements and is described as follows:
So, with the Dish remote directly pointed at the TV, firmly press the power button. This should switch your television on or off, which suggests that you have synchronized the Dish remote correctly in terms of power control over your television set. If your TV is not responding correctly, then go back to step 3 and follow the steps carefully.
In the same manner, when using the Lock in Code approach, the following steps must be followed in order:
When you find that you have programmed the Dish remote to change volume and power your TV; then you should fix it. Once again, press and hold the TV Input button this time until the green light on the remote blinks twice. These codes are now locked on the model of your television.
Other Important Tips
When trying to connect your Dish remote to TV, keep these tips in mind:
- Place the remote at roughly 8-12 inches from the TV during programming mode. This ensures the optimal infrared signal which is necessary when commanding a high-tech spaceship.
- There are cases where Dish remote will develop some issues and the best thing to do is to replace the batteries. Low battery power in television may also affect the signals of the TV programs.
- If they start pressing lots of random buttons, remind them to go back to the start and begin at Step 3. This is particularly important because when done correctly, it usually takes time to be effective.
- Erasing the memory on the remote should be done in a room where there is no interference from signals such as light or other remote signals.
Using Existing Remote Codes
If your exact TV model is already encoded in your Dish remote’s memory, you can scan through existing codes to see if there is a match:
- Adjust the brightness level of your television to minimal or off, then switch on the television by tuning it physically.
- Dish remote guide, or navigate to the TV Input button
- Press 99
- Press the Power button on your Press TV remote control and wait until the screen goes blank.
- If it is unable to switch off, continue pressing the TV Power until the TV responds to your command.
- After the code has been identified, use the TV Input button once more to save the code.
Well, there you have it folks, the basic steps of hooking up your Dish Network remote with the television. With some additional settings, your Dish remote will be able to power on/off the TV, change the channel as well as adjust the volume of the Television. It is simple to follow them to place your Dish satellite remote into the correct programming mode, choose your television maker, and finally, examine the volume as well as power features. After it has begun working for your model, freeze the code with the help of a final push of the button. Once you have this setup done, you will always have a spare second remote that will allow you to get into every single setting of the television.
