This must have been discussed somewhere, but I can't find it, so here's a simple question. I want to control my DISH receiver using a non-learning remote for my Sharp TV and need to enter the 3-digit code that controls the ViP-211. I've looked all over the web for DISH devices codes and have found over 20 candidates listed, so short of trying each one, wondered if anyone here knows the answer?

Thanks,

Pete

Thanks for the advice - I think I'll need to get a universal remote since the DISH remote can only turn the Sharp on & off and nothing else - and the Sharp remote does everything except turn the DISH on & off!

It would be nice if DISH (or Sharp, for that matter) would either make theirs a learning remote, include 1-2 programmable buttons on their standard remotes or offer a choice of remote units to choose from at time of installation.

Anyone from DISH listening?

Yes they were listening, the newest dish remotes do indeed have a learning feature.

DISH 21.0 is a learning remote and just started to trickle into distribution chain. If you search the forums you will find a few people have gotten them.

Hmmm. Wonder if they'll give me a free upgrade... I've only had my system for 2 mos.
Right!

Good luck with that one!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.

The Resurrectionists can help you with that.

For a price.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link

I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.
