. With universal remotes you need to make sure that the remote address on the Dish receiver is set to 1 for the primary remote. To check this all you need to do is press the menu button on your DISH remote two times. That will bring you to a screen that says "System Info". You will see a line that says "Primary Remote Address", in the white box to the right of the line that will have a number in it. That number needs to be 1, if it is not we can change it by holding the SAT button on your DISH remote until all the lights light up. Once the lights light up release the button and the SAT button will be blinking, while it is blinking press the number 1 followed by the # button. The SAT button will blink 3 times. After it blinks press the record button 3 times and that number will change to one. Try your universal remote, if it is compatible with our equipment it should be working now. Let me know if you have any other questions. This does work for all universal remotes.
It is definitely easier to get your Dish remote to work with the rest of your equipment.

Codes for innovage universal remote to program it with my dish network box

Hi Gw, my name is Mike Houston a Social Media Representative at DISH. I understand you want to program your innvoage remote to our DISH receiver. When we send out our DISH receivers we will include our own DISH universal remotes that can control many different components like; HDTV, surround sound receivers and sound bars. We do not have the codes for other universal remotes to work with our system. I will provide you a link explaining in more detail on programming your remote: http://www.ehow.com/way_5501311_innovage-jumbo-universal-remote-instructions.html

Need code for vizio tv trying to program dish remote to vizio tv

Easy!
Still have dish service? their box? Go to box's menu "setup" option, choose "remote control". "On screen" logos will guide you through the procedure.
No box, no service? Knock on your neighbor's door and ask him to look at "menu". find your brand, write down code(s)! Last resort: call dish customer service and ask them to program your "clicker" they are all 'learning" and will be programed via "box'. Be creative! Or, worst case: get universal remote and set it up for both: dish and TV!
Luck is on your side!

How do I switch from tv watching to listening to the included music channels on my motorola universal remote

gomabra

Would you elaborate further on what you are trying to do? Are you trying to program your universal remote to your DISH Network receiver or something else? I have provided a link with instructions on how to program the universal remote. Since it is not a DISH remote, we can't guarantee the function of that remote. I hope this helps.
