Hi there this is Kimberly Escobar with DISH Network. I will be glad to help you by providing you the information that can help you. To program the DISH Network remote with your T.V we usually integrate a code into the remote that works with the brand of your T.V allowing our remote to function with the T.V itself by reading your post you don't mention the brand of your television but that is not a problem there is another way to help program your remote without having to use a code, it is called Power Scan in the Power scan procedure we search for the code that gets the remote to control your T.V. To perform a Power Scan your T.V must be on, you press and hold the T.V button until all the other buttons at the top light up in red. Once they light up in red you enter the number 500, you wait for the top buttons to go off and the you will press and hold once again the T.V button until the buttons light up again once you see them come on you will press the big red Power button on the remote once immediately after you press the big red power button you will press one repeatedly the channel up arrow one time after another until T.V turns off immediately after it goes off press the pound button (#) you should see the T.V button light up 3 times then try turning the T.V back on using the remote it should work. Here is this link http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/power-scan-instructions it shows you the procedures. I hope you find this helpful if you have any questions or need further assistance please contact us directly at 1800-333-DISH thank you.

Switch installation failure

I can understand why that would be frustrating, southbizhemp. I hope this has been resolved, but if not I would be happy to help!

Is there a number on the upper right corner of the message? Is this a replacement receiver, or a brand new one. Are all the cables tightened?

Same Place I got one from, Free DVR and setup with a contract. DirecTV was not as good and more expensive. Better Customer Service with Dish Network and the DVR is awesome, best one I have ever used. I sincerely recommend this system. Check them out.

Will a 7yr old dish receiver work today on dish satillite

With an antenna that is pointed correctly to satellites 110 and 119, the receiver will function, but will not have access to paid channels without authorization from DISH (which you can get by calling 1-800-333-3474). You may have to run a check switch test after connecting to antenna by accessing the menu, system set-up, installation, check switch.

Getting snow when connecting polaroid tv to dish

Hi bevybab!

I would need more information as to which TV (1 or 2) you're experiencing the problem with, but if this is a new TV it sounds like you may need to change the modulator setup.

You can find the setting under Menu -> System Setup -> Installation -> Modulator Setup. If this is TV1, change the TV 1 Out to channel 3 or 4 depending on what you have listed. If this is TV2; change the mode from air to cable or cable to air and then put the TV on the channel it shows after selecting done to save the settings.

If you can provide more information or have any other questions let me know!

After setting up a new tv, the dish remote will not work with the satellite. what could be the problem?

mbpope

If I understand you correctly, once you installed your new TV, your DISH remote doesn't allow you to change satellite channels. If this is correct, you will need to readdress the remote to the receiver. I have provided a link with these instructions. Included with the link is instructions for programming the remote to your TV.

We recently moved our dish ( we are in an rv) and now we get a signal on one tv only. we have dish network and a 625 DVR. we have moved many times and have never had a problem before. in order to switch...

5shades690,

Are you still having problems with your TV 2 off the 625 receiver? You have a cable off the back of the receiver, TV 2 Home Distribution. That's feeding to your TV 2 location. You might check to make sure it is secure. You can also see if that cable screws into a diplexer if it is being back feed through the satellite cables. These are all potential problem spots, especially since you said it was working before. I hope this helps.
