| | | Dish Remote Tip
Hey guys you know that your Dish Network remotes have up to 16 addresses, but did you know that there are actually 31 remote addresses available?
It was just revealed on the Retailer chat that there is a hidden batch of remote addresses in Dish Network remotes!
Here is the way to go above 16...
Pick the address you want to use...
Let's say for this example we pick 20. The trick is we take the number we want and subtract 16 from it.
So 20 - 16 = 4.
To program in address code 20 we press and hold the Sat Button til it blinks, then press # and then the up arrow, now type in the remote address code (which in this case is 4), now press # and record on your remote. Your remotes address is now 20!
Kind of cool huh?

That info will come in handy for some onf us that have WAY too many receivers.
Is that ALL Dish remotes or just the newest ones?

Ah yes, I just can't wait to add another 20 receivers to my present 4. Just think of all the new additional receiver fees.  |

Gee, with my dp34 switch, the max number of receivers is 12, so about the only way I would need this is if my closest neighbor switches from Direct to Dish, which is unlikely as they can't see 119 anywhere on their property.

Thanks Scott, I find this info useful as my neighbor and I duel remotes constantly just to screw with each other....yes it's friendly non hostile fire....that is until I end up watching Blues Clues instead of Monday Night Football....It's not likely he'll find me on one of these addresses....

I am also curious if this is for all UHF remotes or just the new UHF Pro remotes, as well as the old and new IR remotes. Does it actually show up as, for example, 20 on the remote address or does it show up as 4? Has this been available all along or with a software upgrade? I wouldnt think that they could do it with a software upgrade at least with the remote.

LOL, the funny thing is your not supposed to use that unless you like in a business or many many many rcvr setting, we use those extra addresses at work, but very few people are aware of it, I'm atr and I just had another aged atr freak out when a customers remote address was on 28, he almost ra'd the rcvr for nvm failure. As far as for which remotes it is, I have never even thought of that, I'll have to chck if I can
