Hi there Stacey, my name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. We do not promise that our remote will control all the functions of you TV. The codes used to program your DISH remote to the TV may be limited to some functions. You can try addressing your remote to the TV using different codes. I have listed the steps below to assist with programming the remote to your TV. If you have any other questions, let me know at [email protected]!

You can lookup the different codes here: http://www.mydish.com/support/apps/remotecodes.aspx?WT.svl=leftnav

1.) Press and hold the clear TV button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and TV light will be blinking.
3.) Enter code and press #. The TV button should flash 3 times.
4.) Try functions (Volume, Power, etc..) and see if it is working.
5.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

Confirmed with Samsung tech support. Problem is with remote. to fix, simple take the batteries out of the remote. Press and hold the UP Volume button for 2 Mintues (no cheating, it has to be at least 2 minutes), this Reset's the Remote Control. Put the batteries back in. Bob's your uncle. all fixed.

SOURCE: remote control

I had the same problem.  The problem is strange and seems to be with the receiver in the TV and not the remote control.  The reason I say this is that when this first happened my Samsung brand DVD could actually control the TV.  This then also failed, but still works fine with the DVD player.
Anyway there is an even more bizarre fix to all this......
- Remove the batteries from your TV remote. - Press and hold the red (ON/OFF) button for at least 1 min. - Replace the batteries and hey presto!!
I know seems far fetched but I found it on the Samsung website and it does work.

Ok - not proper solution yet but nearly there!

Hello, my name is Becki Barned, and I am with Dish Network customer service. To program the remote to a Vizio tv, there are a couple approaches that you may take. First is, follow this link: http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/power-scan-instructions which walks you through it. Or do these steps: 1. Hold down the TV mode button until all mode buttons at the top of the remote light up, then release. 2. Punch in the code 505. 3. Press the pound (#) button on the keypad. Use either of these, and that remote will work great! Just make sure after you get the volume working, that you press the SAT button on the remote! If you have any other questions, blog back, or you can find us on Twitter!!!!

Volume and mute buttons are not working

Do you have fresh batteries in the remote? You did not provide your TV brand so I can't provide you the codes for your specific TV. Below I have provided instructions on how to perform a power scan. If this doesn't work, you may need a new remote.

  • Remote: Basic Remote (Television Only)
    1. Turn the Television On.
    2. Press and hold the clear TV button for three seconds until the LED flashes.
    3. Press and release the redTV Power button.
    4. Press and release the Up or Down Arrow on the remote until the television turns off.
    5. After the television turns off, press and release the # button.
    6. Test functionality with the TV.
    7. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.

My tv is an old rca tv, i have a dish network remote, one of the kids locked out the tv and i dont know how to get it back on, it wont tell me a anything all i can do is change the tv with the remote,...

If I read your post correctly it sounds like, the remote no longer works the volume or power for the TV set. If this is correct follow the steps below for a Power Scan. If this is not the issue or the steps don't work feel free to contact me and we will sort this out!
Power Scan
1.) Hold down the clear "TV" button on the remote for four seconds, then press 500 pound ( #)
2.) Hold down the clear "TV" button on the remote for four seconds, press the big power button once.
3.) Press the channel up button once per second until the TV turns off then press pound (#).

Try several functions Mute Volume and Power to make sure the remote works properly then press "SAT".

As I program my control of dish to a tv sanyo

Hi maria_pal371, I would need to get a better idea of what model remote you have. I would recommend viewing our remote codes found here:
http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/pdf/user_guides_and_manuals/Remote_Codes_Web_Page.pdf

The model # is on the back of the remote at the top, once you have the code(s) you can follow these steps to program the remote:

1. Hold the gray TV button until all lights on top turn on.
2. Let go and while TV is blinking enter the 3-digit code you found and press #.
3. TV should blink a few times and stop. Try volume/power/mute.
4. If everything works hit SAT and you're good to go! If not repeat steps 1-3 with a different code.

Need the number code for rca tv

I hope that after 9 months, you have gotten this resolved but if you have any problems, or you have another remote you would like to program, here are some simple steps!!!

The first instructions here are for a power scan, which scans the tv for the correct code for the remote. You just hold down the clear TV button until all lights at the top of the remote light up, then press the Power button, then press the up arrow about once a second, until the tv turns off. If the tv turns off, press the # (pound) button. Try your volume and to power the tv on/off. If one or both of these do not work, start the process over.

If you want to use only codes, here are the steps:
1. Hold down the clear TV button until all lights at the top of the remote light up.
2. Punch in the 3-digit code (provided below for RCA tv.)
3. Press the # (pound) button
4. Try the volume, and to power the tv on/off. If one or both do not work, start again at step 1 with a different code.

Sanyo DS32224 tv remote

It sounds as if you have inadvertently selected the 'Aux' function. Pressing the 'TV' button (should be close to the Aux and others) should restore full control.
Since the volume generally means 'TV Volume,' this function often stays effective but the other controls will not respond, including 'Power.'

This happens to us all the time with our Dish remote which also has 4 basic functions.
