The latest model Dish remotes such as 54.0, 52.0, 50.0, 40, and 32 can be easily programmed through the on-screen prompts, so you don’t need to apply the universal codes directly. But if you want to program some old model dish remote to TV, this is the right guide for you.
First of all, let’s look at the ways we can pair the Hooper new model remotes with the TV with the on-screen assistance.
It’s pretty simple to sync these remotes to work with your TV.
Make all the connections between the TV and the Dish set-top box. Turn on the devices. When the Home screen loads, press the Home button on the remote TWICE and then go to the REMOTE CONTROL tab. Then follow the on-screen prompts accordingly to pair the remote.
For models 40 and 32, there is no HOME button, instead, press the MENU button on the top to get the REMOTE control option.

How to reset a Dish remote?
If your Dish remote is not working properly, you can reset it so that all of the small glitches will be vanished. Before trying a hard reset, I recommend you remove the batteries from the remote. Then wait 2 to 3 minutes. Then insert a fresh pair of batteries and program it for your TV.
Still have an issue, then follow the instructions to factory reset it.
Press the SAT button on the remote, followed by pressing the SYSTEM INFO on the receiver. Then press the SAT button again.
