Discover the Magic: Pairing Your DISH Remote with Your TV
In this guide, I’m going to show you how to unleash the power of your DISH remote by pairing it with your TV. Say goodbye to juggling multiple remotes and hello to effortless control.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before we dive in, make sure you have everything you need. You’ll need your trusty DISH remote (of course!) and your TV remote. Keep them within arm’s reach so you can easily access them throughout the process.
Step 2: Find the Code
Now, it’s time to find the secret code that will connect your DISH remote to your TV. Each brand of TV has its own unique code. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back!
Head over to the DISH website or grab the handy code list that came with your remote. There, you’ll find a world of codes waiting for you. Just locate the code for your TV’s brand and make a note of it. We’re almost there!
Step 3: Put the Magic in Motion
Alright, let’s get this show on the road! Grab your DISH remote and hold it close. Now, press and hold the TV mode button until all the mode buttons light up.
Next, enter the three-digit code you found earlier. You’ll see the mode button blink twice to confirm that the code has been accepted. You’re getting closer to the magic, my friend!
Step 4: Test the Waters
Time to put your new power to the test! Point your remote at the TV and press the Power button. If the TV turns off, rejoice! You’ve successfully paired your DISH remote with your TV.
If, by chance, the TV doesn’t respond, don’t despair. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. You just need to try another code from the list until you find the perfect match. You’ve got this!

I hope this guide has made your remote pairing endeavor a breeze. Remember, my friend, with great power comes great responsibility. So, go forth and conquer the remote control universe!
When it comes to controlling all of your multimedia devices, the DISH universal remote controller is the way to go. It’s simple to use and can control multiple devices from one spot. But first, you need to pair your DISH remote to your TV. Here’s how to do it.
The Benefits of DISH
Before we get into pairing your DISH remote, let’s talk about why using DISH is a great choice. Firstly, DISH offers a competitive price. While they do require a 2-year contract, they promise no price increases during the second year of your subscription, unlike many other providers.
Another big advantage of DISH is the Hopper 3 DVR receiver. It has a spacious 2TB hard drive, which is larger than its competitors. Plus, you won’t have to deal with a ton of wires. With DISH, you only need one physical wire connected to the Hopper 3 unit. This means fewer potential wiring issues and a cleaner look with no messy cables behind your TV or cabinet.
Additionally, DISH offers support for popular streaming services like Netflix and YouTube. Even though most smart TVs have these apps available for download, DISH has them built right in. This may not seem like a big deal, but built-in apps tend to work smoother than downloaded ones.
There are plenty of other benefits to using DISH, but these are the main ones. Now, let’s get into pairing your DISH remote with your TV.
A Guide to Pairing Your DISH Remote with Your TV
Don’t worry if you’re having trouble pairing your DISH remote with your TV. It’s not as straightforward as it seems, but I’m here to help you through the process. Here’s how to do it:
For Newer DISH Remotes
First, press the HOME button on your remote twice. If your remote doesn’t have a HOME button, press the MENU button once instead. This will bring up a menu on your screen. Select Settings, then go to Remote Control. From there, choose the device you want to pair. Next, select the Pairing Wizard option. This wizard will guide you through the entire process and make sure everything is set up correctly.
Now, scroll through the on-screen menu until you find the brand of your TV (or other device) that you want to pair with your DISH remote. It’s crucial to select the right brand because you’ll need to test pairing codes later on. Each brand has its own specific codes, so if you choose the wrong brand, the codes won’t work.
The Pairing Wizard will now prompt you to test the device using a series of codes. Pay close attention to the instructions for each code. You’ll likely need to press the Power or Volume buttons on your DISH remote to check if everything is functioning properly. If a code works, click the Finish button on the screen. If a code doesn’t work, select Try Next Code and repeat the process. If none of the codes are working, it’s possible that you selected the wrong TV model. Go back and choose a different one.
Even if the pairing process goes smoothly, there’s a chance that certain commands may not work. This is especially common with devices that have unique and specialized features. Make sure to thoroughly test every command so you know which ones you can and cannot use.
Older DISH Remotes
If you have an older DISH remote, like those from the 20/21 series, you’ll need to do something called a power scan. This power scan is a clever way to find the right code for your device.
First, point your DISH remote at the device you want to pair it with. Depending on what you want to program, press and hold the TV, DVD, or AUX button. It might take a little while, so be patient and hold it down for at least 10 seconds. Once you see all four Mode buttons light up, you can let go of the TV/DVD/AUX button. The Mode button will start blinking. Now, press the Power button and let it go. The Mode button should stop blinking. If the light is solid, that means your DISH remote is ready to be programmed.
Now, press the Up button. This will send the first code to your TV or DVD device. Keep pressing it until the device turns off. Don’t worry if it turns off, that means you’ve found the right code. Press the hashtag (#) button to save the code. During this process, the Mode button might blink a few times. Lastly, test the remote to make sure everything is working correctly.
Your DISH Remote is All Set!
That’s it! You’ve successfully set up your DISH remote. But before you celebrate, don’t forget to test it out properly. You wouldn’t want any surprises during a game or your favorite movie.
