9Programming Remote toControl Another DeviceThere are three ways that you can program your DISH remote to control another device, such as a TV, DVD, Blu-ray Disc™ (BD) Player, VCR, audio receiver, or amplier:• Scanning the Remote Database (see page 10)• Entering a Code (see page 13)• Learning Codes (see page 15)Use Scanning the Remote Database if you do not know the device code. The receiver scans the database of codes for the particular device and tries each code. When you nd one that works, you save that code.Use Entering a Code when you know the device code. Use Learning Codes when either your device is not listed under Lookup or when you have scanned the database and none of the codes worked. Typically, the TV mode button is programmed to a TV and the AUX button to a DVD, BD, VCR, audio receiver, or amplier. However, each of the Mode buttons are programmable to whatever device you select.Each of these procedures is discussed in the following pages.

REMOTEANTENNAREMOTEANTENNA20Avoiding RF InterferenceBecause your remote control uses UHF-2G (2.4 GHz ISM band) radio frequencies (RF), you might experience interference from other devices transmitting nearby. The instructions in this section describe how to avoid such conicts.Ensure the UHF-2G remote antenna is connected to the correct input on the Hopper receiver’s back panel and is not touching anything. Tighten only by hand. Vary the tilt angle of the Hopper receiver’s remote antenna, locating the antenna’s tip away from any other electronic equipment or metal surfaces, even if separated by wooden shelving.Move the receiver to a different location. Place it on as high a surface as possible, above all other equipment in your entertainment center.Use the optionally available special extension cable to connect the remote antenna to the Hopper receiver and place it away from other equipment.Move any nearby antenna or radio equipment away from the Hopper and/or the Joey receiver. Do not place an over-the-air antenna, WiFi, Bluetooth®, or ZigBee® devices on or near the receivers.234Adjusting the AntennaThe Hopper receiver communicates with its remote control(s) through an UHF-2G antenna connected to the Remote Antenna input on it’s back panel. Note: This remote antenna can only be used with UHF-2G capable receivers. 51

To solve a particular problem, do the following:• Find the information that relates to the problem you are experiencing. Try the suggested solution for that problem.• Make sure your remote control has fresh batteries. If you see the Remote Battery Low warning on your TV screen, it is time to change the batteries. Follow the instructions on page 1.• Make sure you have a direct line of sight between the remote and the receiver.• Visit www.mydish.com/support.When you press a button on the remote control, the equipment doesn’t do what you expect.What to do: Press the correct mode button to set the remote to the mode for the device you want to control: SAT for your receiver, TV for your TV, or AUX for your auxiliary equipment such as a DVD, BD, or VCR. Point the remote control directly at the TV, with no objects blocking the signal path. The remote control uses IR signals to control the devices. IR signals travel less than 40 feet and cannot go through walls or other solid objects.If the batteries are missing or dead, replace them with new AA-size batteries. If the remote has new batteries, check whether you put them in correctly. If you didn’t, take them out and put them in the right way.Set up the remote to control all the devices you want to use with the remote. See Programming Remote to Control Another Device on page 9.
