Thread: Has anyone lost UHF function on remote after subscribing to programming?

I just subscribed to programming from SRL and everything is coming in OK and I still have all satellites. The only problem is the UHF function of my remote seems to be gone. UHF is absolutely essential for my viewing. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just a problem with my remote?

UHF is working on my 922 and I just went through the update

The 4DTV has 4 different addresses for the remote control. This allows a user to have up to four different 4Dtv receivers and still have just one remote to control all of them. To look at what address your 4DTV is, hit the up or down arrow key on the front panel simultaneously. This will show on the front panel as A0, A1, A2 or A3. By using the up or down key you can scroll to the address you want. Once this has been changed on the front panel, you then address the remote to the same code by holding the 4DTV button or SAT button on the remote until it flashes. Then enter in the appropriate matching code such as 100, 101, 102 or 103.

Thanks for the reply. It is funny that my remote decided to act up just as my subscription came on. I was hoping that it wasn't caused by the new emm. Must just be a problem with my remote. Thanks again.

Thanks. The IF function still works fine, just no UHF, so I really don't think that it is an address problem but I will try changing to a different code and see what happens.

Edited to report that changing the address code did not help. I discovered that the correct code to enter on the remote is "00x" not "10x"

You don't say whether your unit is a 920 or 922 so if it's a 920 this may help if the code change didn't help with your issue. Here's a link that explains how to do it.

Myself I didn't unplug my unit, but right now I'm not sure of what the out come might be now if you did so it's something to think about.
