Why Does My Dish Network Remote Change The Volume But Not The Channels

Make sure the remote is set to satellite, here's the process to readdress the remote.

The remote control handset for your Dish Network satellite TV receiver can act as a universal remote control that will also operate certain functions on your TV set, including the volume control and changing channels. To program your Dish Network remote handset to control your TV set, point the remote at the TV set, and then enter the correct three- or four-digit remote code.

Step 1

Find the correct three- or four-digit remote code for your make and model of TV set. Find this in the TV's user manual or the support section of the TV manufacturer's website.

Step 2

Point the Dish Network remote control handset at the TV set. Press and hold down the "TV" key until all four indicators at the top of the remote light up.

Step 3

Enter the three- or four-digit remote code for your TV on the remote's numeric keypad. If you're using the TV set in "Aux" mode to view the output from a connected external device, press the "0" key before entering the code. For example, if your TV code is "123," enter "0123" instead. The "TV" indicator lights up on the Dish Network remote.

Step 4

Press the "#" key on the remote. The "TV" indicator light at the top of the remote flashes three times.

Step 5

Press the red "Power" button on the remote control. The TV set should switch off, indicating that the Dish Network remote now operates the TV set

Hi there gleRoili, My name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH. It is a pleasure to help you. If your remote is currently not allowing you to access your guide and change channels please make sure that your remote is on the correct mode which is, Satellite Mode. How do you know if the remote is on SAT mode? You can find out by pressing any button on the remote and pay attention to the four mode buttons located at the top pf the remote and check to see if the SAT clear button is the one that lights up. If your remote is on SAT mode but is still not changing channels it will most likely need to be readdressed to the receiver. Follow this link for detailed information on how to address your remote to the receiver http://www.mydish.com/support/remote-control?WT.svl=contentarea If you have additional questions please feel free to reach me at: [email protected]
