Remote control discrete On and Off IR commands are used by
installers when programming macro commands into universal remotes.
Using an On-only or Off-only command is more effective than a toggle
On/Off command when trying to ensure the satellite receiver is reliably
in one state or the other. To use discrete power commands, complete
the following:
1
Program the DISH Network remote to desired remote address (see
Changing the Remote and Receiver Address
below).
2
Hold the
SAT
mode button until all mode buttons light, then
release.
3
Press
POWER
(not
TV POWER
).
4
Press
VOLUME UP
for discrete power on, or
VOLUME DOWN
for discrete power off.
5
Press any other button when done to end this procedure.

One quick way to avoid remote conflicts is by changing the address on
your remote and receiver. If you notice that your receiver is changing
channels or opening menus but you’re not using the remote control, a
quick change of address should fix the problem.
1
Press
SYSTEM INFO
on the receiver's front panel. The
System
Information
screen displays and shows the
Remote Address
.
Write down the address shown:
2
Press and hold
SAT
on your remote control for about three
seconds, until all of the mode buttons light up, and then let go of
SAT
.
3
Use the
NUMBER PAD
to enter any number between 1 and 16,
but not the one you wrote in step 1.
4
Press the
POUND (#)
on your remote (the
SAT
button will flash
three times). Write down the number you entered in the space
provided on the inside back cover.
5
Press
RECORD
. Make sure the
Remote Address
you see on
the
System Information
screen is the same as the one you
entered in step 3. If it isn’t, the remote cannot control the receiver.
Press
RECORD
a second time.
6
Press
SELECT
to close the
System Information
screen.
