Is it possible to get a UHF remote for a DVR512?

Dish doesn't sell one!

The replacement remote for a 512 is a 6.4 IR/UHF remote. So yes, it is possible. I don't believe the 512 comes with an UHF antenna, so we may need to send one of those out as well.

It does have an antenna and I have a 6.4 IR/UHF but the tech at Dish could not get it working. I have a 2 and the systems wants a 1 remote?

The Dish tech recommended Radio Shack but they not longer support Dish.

1. Using the original TV1 remote or front panel buttons, press menu, select System Setup, Installation, then TV1 UHF Pro Setup
2. Select Enable, then Select System Info from the same screen
3. Highlight the Primary Remote Address using the CHANNEL UP on the remote
4. Press record on the remote.

You should see it change to IR/UHF pro on the right side of the remote address. I have been able to get this to work with the #2 key in the remote in the past, but normally it does need to have the #1 UHF tab

It show IR and I can't get it to UHF

Try pressing the record button 3 times when you have the remote address highlighted

Ask for a "UHF Pro remote upgrade". This is supposed to include two items: the UHF Pro remote and UHF Pro antenna.

Of course if MattG's configuration advice doesn't work, don't waste your money.

 

[bcurt99]

The tech had me press record three times and it didn't work?

 

[MattG@DISH]

Do you have any other keys/tabs for the remote? It would be the same TV1 UHF tab as the 522

 

[bcurt99]

No I don't.

 

[MattG@DISH]

Make sure that the switch next to the remote cover is flipped to the "A" side, then try this: get to the same screen as posted above, and when you have the remote address highlighted:

Hold SAT until all the mode lights are lit (SAT will be flashing when you release it)
press the number "3" on the keypad
Press "#"
Press record 3 times

I tried it with the "blue" side up labeled 2 UHF and got no response- remote quit responding. I then tried it with the black side up labeled UHF and the remote worked but it didn't change the IR1 that still shows.

 

[MattG@DISH]

Is the switch in the remote next to the batteries flipped to the A or B side? The 512 does not support Band B, so we need to make sure it's on the "A" side.

Seemingly not.
