Programming a Dish remote to your TV is a straightforward process that allows you to control your television with ease. Whether you’re a first-time user or just need a refresher, follow these simple steps to get your Dish remote working with your TV in no time.
Step 1: Ensure your Dish remote is fully charged
Before you begin programming your Dish remote, make sure it is fully charged. You can do this by plugging it into a power outlet using the provided USB cable or by replacing the batteries if they are low.

With your Dish remote fully charged, turn on both your TV and Dish receiver. Ensure that they are both in the correct input or channel for the programming process.
Step 3: Press the ‘Menu’ button on your Dish remote
Press the ‘Menu’ button on your Dish remote to access the main menu. This button is typically located in the center of the remote’s top row of buttons.
Step 4: Navigate to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Remote Control’ or ‘System Settings’
Using the arrow buttons on your Dish remote, navigate to the ‘Settings’ option. Once in the settings menu, select ‘Remote Control’ or ‘System Settings,’ depending on your remote’s layout.
Step 5: Find the ‘Program Remote’ or ‘Pair Remote’ option
Within the ‘Remote Control’ or ‘System Settings’ menu, look for the ‘Program Remote’ or ‘Pair Remote’ option. This is the section where you will enter the code to pair your Dish remote with your TV.
Step 6: Enter the TV manufacturer code
Enter the TV manufacturer code for your television. You can find this code in the Dish remote’s user manual or by searching online. The code is a series of numbers that corresponds to your TV brand.
Step 7: Press ‘Enter’ or ‘OK’ to confirm the code
After entering the TV manufacturer code, press the ‘Enter’ or ‘OK’ button on your Dish remote to confirm the code. If the code is correct, your remote should now be programmed to work with your TV.
