When your DISH Network remote is programmed to your TV, the volume buttons on the remote are defaulted to control the TV volume whether you are in TV, SAT, or VCR/DVD mode. If you want the volume buttons to control an auxiliary device (such as a surround sound system), you can change the default settings so that the remote volume buttons control the AUX mode device. It is important to note that once you have changed the sat mode volume device, you cannot access the TV volume.

This will make it so the volume controls default to AUX mode.
For the TV power, just press the red TV button on the remote, no need to change the mode it's in. Sorry about the formatting
