How to Program the Dish Network Remote

Programming your DISH Network remote control is easy if you follow the simple steps given below. The article describes how to progam the DISH TV remote with the blue arrow and select buttons and four separate mode buttons (SAT TV VCR AUX). Note: Once you start the procedure if more than 20 seconds goes by before you push a button, you will have to start the process over again.

First, a brief description of what the mode buttons stand for and what function they control:



  • SAT - SAT stands for Satellite and pressing this button means that the Satellite receiver will now respond to the remote.
  • TV - TV stands for Television of course and pressing this button means that your television will now respond to the remote.
  • VCR - VCR stands for Video Cassette Recorder and pressing this button means that your VCR will now respond to the remote.
  • AUX - AUX stands for Auxilliary and pressing this button means that any auxilliary device you have connected to your receiver will now respond to the remote's signals.

Okay first, press and hold the desired mode button (about three seconds) until all mode keys light up, then release. Use the number pad buttons to enter the three-digit number corresponding to the equipment. You can get the three-digit code for your equipment here. The light will blink off after each digit is entered and then return to a steady light. Press the POUND (#) button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times. To verify the code works, try several functions for that equipment.

For remotes that have one Mode button at the top: Note: Again, if more than 20 seconds passes between hitting the remote's buttons; you will need to start over again. With the desired equipment on, press and release the Mode button until the light flashes behind the correct mode. Using the tip of a pen or the eraser on a pencil, press the address button. Enter the code (see links to find your code below) on the remote's numbered keypad for the equipment. Press the Address button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times. To verify the code works, try several functions for that equipment. Some codes may provide partial functions or respond differently than the button's titled function. Try the other codes listed for that device until you find one that offers more complete functionality.
