Ah I see the problem on the dvd remote the volume buttons are 1 button on the dish the are 2. meaning i cant program that. though i seem to have now lost the ability to use both volumes on dish remote after programming the input button.
Step 1: Press TV Step 2: Press Recall Step 3: Press Record Step 4: Point DVD player remote at dish remote Step 5: Press input on dish remote Step 6: Press input on dvd remote Step 7: Press TV
end result:
Input works, Volume doesn't work in any mode, up and down doesn't work in any mode
Can't go through all of the steps again for up and down, as on the insignia RCA remote volume is 1 button not 2 like on dish remote.
I'm guessing that one button has 2 sides to it, one with an up and the other with a down? Either way the button has to be able to differentiate when you are wanting to go up or down so it should still work.
