52.0 Remote - How to program without Hopper.

[Dish Sub 2015]

Is there a way 52.0 dish Remote to be programed without Hopper to control a TV.

That is a good question. With the older remote controls you could do that. Since these 52.0 remote controls are programmed via the hopper , 4k joey ,2.0 joey, I would say no, that they would be able to work with a tv by itself. But I haven't tried to do it myself.

As Mike said, the Hopper is what programs the remote. If you don't have a Hopper you can't program the remote. Or at least I doubt that you can since the older units most likely don't have the proper software to do it.

I know, the question is, is there some key kombo for punching in TV codes like the old VIP remotes.

Not that I've seen. It is all done from menu selection on the Hopper.

Any other ideas, other than moving the hopper / TV ?

Yes, you can, but you need to know the 4 digit code. It is programmed the same way as all remotes before. I believe something like Vizio would be 2505.

Thats great, what's are the steps getting the remote in programmable mode. I tried holding TV button down, but "TV" light did not stay on like the older remotes?

 

[ChadT41]

How long did you hold it down for? I did it on the 50.0, but I noticed I had to hold down the tv button significantly longer than on previous remotes.

When you press "TV" the light goes on, if you hold it for more than one minute the light goes off?

I just tried mine. Was about 5-7 seconds on the 52.0

 

[Dish Sub 2015]

Do you pressing the side TV button? What happen after the 7 seconds.

 

[ChadT41]

Yes, and tv starts flashing. I'll see if I can make a video in a bit and upload it.

I got a brand new 52.0 remote and does't do anything? Does it need to be paired first?
Thanks for the video.

 

[ChadT41]

I have a new one that hasn't been setup and is still in packaging. I'll try it out with that one.

Be sure Limited Mode is set to Off in the Remote settings.

That's just it, he doesn't have a Hopper hooked into the system... He wants to program it to use on his TV standalone... I think!

Ohhh.. Thanks Bobby. I didn't remember the beginning of the thread.

Thats right, have a TV in a different location with free OTA TV, love the look of 52.0 and wish to be able to program it some how?
