Before You Begin Programming
Before you begin programming the Dish remote to your LG TV, make sure that:
- In the remote control of the universal brand, the batteries are fitted, and they are working while in the other brand of the remote control, the batteries are also fitted although they are dead. Change the batteries, when necessary, especially if the old ones are dead.
- Yes, you can see your LG TV is on and your Dish receiver box is on as well.
- You are standing as close to the LG TV as can be, you are standing smack in front of it or within direct line of sight.
Programming Steps
Follow these step-by-step instructions to sync your Dish Network remote to your LG TV:
- Power ON your LG TV.
- To program a dish network remote, it is necessary to press the button at the top of the remote marked as “Sat” for some time until all the mode buttons at the top of the remote begin blinking. This places the remote into a programming mode.
- Enter the LG TV programming code by pressing and releasing the following number buttons:
- Point the Dish remote at the LG TV and try the power, volume, and channel-changing buttons to make sure that the device is correctly identified. Check the functionality of your LG TV by ensuring that the Dish remote buttons elicit appropriate responses.
If your LG TV does not respond:
- Perhaps, you should try pressing the “Sat” button and type in the code once more. Be careful in controlling down 1346 to ensure that you are pressing down the right key.
- Try an alternate code: It can be 1329 or 1501
- Try some of the other LG programming codes mentioned in the Dish user manual that may still work.
When the Dish remote can successfully primarily navigate power, volume, and channel settings, programming is said and done. Dish Network universal remote control will be used to command the operations of your LG TV.
It will discuss how to program additional functions that can be easily added to the game.
After the Dish remote has been programmed to turn ON and OFF the LG TV, increase and decrease its volume, and switch its channels, then this will mean that you have completed the most vital aspects of the programming process.
However, there are other special functions that you might wish to program as well, such as selection or app launch. Follow these tips:
Input Selection
You can program the Dish remote buttons AUX, DVD, or VCR to directly access any input connections on your LG TV like:
- HDMI ports
- Component or composite and RGB input
- The following are the various operations available on the LG webOS Smart TV:
Perform these functions in the following manner: Press the Dish mode button of your choice simultaneously with the numeral that represents the label of your LG TV input. For instance, to select “DVD”, press the “HDMI 1” button by pressing the number “104” at the same time. As to the labeling of inputs, refer to the user guide for TV for further details on this matter.
Quick Menu Access
To raise the actual LG TV settings quick menu, one must hold down the “* asterisk button at the top of the keypad. Arrow keys are for movement, ‘Select’ to confirm the chosen option.
Launch LG Apps

Test and Troubleshoot Functions
It would be wise to perform other programmed functions afterward to confirm if your Dish remote correctly handles those LG TV features. When testing, stand, at least at the beginning, abreast of your television.
In case some of the functions are not working as soon as the user expects them to, then try re-programming using the instructions mentioned above. Distances and any obstacles that may be between the remote and the TV as well as the angles it uses can also be a cause of inconsistency.
