How to Setup a Dish Network 3.1 R Remote Control

Dish Network is a television service that utilizes a series of satellites to broadcast the signal to customers. While the actual dish and cable box are usually set up by a Dish Network representative, if a consumer purchases a new remote control, they must set up the remote before using it. One of the possible remote controls consumers can purchase is the Dish Network 3.1 R.

Things You'll Need

• Dish Network 3.1 R remote control
• Dish Network cable box
• 4 AAA batteries

Instructions

1. Insert 4 AAA batteries into your remote. The remote should turn on automatically.

2. Press the "TV" button on your remote. Turn on the television you are programming the remote with manually. Find the code for the brand of television you are programming at the Dish Network website (http://tech.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/techportal/content/tech/remotes/3.1.shtml) and insert the code. If the code works, the remote will flash three times. If it does not, continue entering other possible codes until you find the right one.

3. Repeat the above process (Step 2) with any other devices you want to set up in the remote control, such as VCRs, DVD players or stereos. You can find the code numbers for all of those electronics at the same website as above: http://tech.dishnetwork.com/departmental_content/techportal/content/tech/remotes/3.1.shtml
