how do I program this receiver

Well is doesn't record if that's what you mean, it's not a DVR, but to get it up and running, you call dish to initialize it. Hope that helps

No programming is needed, just call Dish for activation and make sure your dish antenna is pointed correctly.

Call dish network and they will walk you throught the initial set up. Also if you don't use the receiver at least once a month you will have to go through set up each time you use it. So be sure to turn it on and let it aquire satalite signal at least one time every month

This is a pain with Dish. With that being said, I had to find a Dish Network dish that was already set up on a satellite, some say you can go to a local dealer, I don't know about that. Then I had to set it up with an active internet connection, after that point it was able to update the receiver and worked. If you hold down the * (star key) you can bypass the initial setup screen. Do a google search for "dish network bypass setup screen", you will find some good info. Good luck, hope this helps..

I'm not sure, but check the input/output assignments first. Next, since this receiver can handle multiple zones, check to see if this output is assigned to a different zone. Lastly, if you're not looking at the big manual that you have to go on line for, I would check that. I hope this helps.

Hi, start with using commands from RCA codes, if that doesn't work then try pioneer... my guess it will be RCA as that is the staple of all remotes

It has been a few months since I messed with the one I bought, I do know that you have to have some steps in assigning it a frequency. If you have not tried it yet, I would manual set up the same frequency matching the transmitter to receiver. If you have them both on the same frequency already, I can't help you. Hope this helps

There is Audio out at the back of the TV Screen. Simply plug that to the input on the receiver.

Hey aMan- It is not. Your receiver operates on a a 303.875 MHz frequency and this remote operates on 300 MHz. If you are handy I can walk you through installing an updated receiver and which you remotes you need. Thanks... Matty

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

If you purchased two of the "receiver plus two button" kits you could program all the buttons to activate both receivers. There are jumpers or switches in both the receivers and buttons that let you set one of 16 codes. Any receivers within range set to the same code as a button will sound.

Depends which Dish remote you have. If you don't yet have the 20.0 (IR) or 21.0 (UHF) learning remote, pick one up now. (You should be able to get them reasonably priced from Dish, or else go to eBay; they're not too expensive there.) I used code 846 for the Sony DG-STR920 receiver, although it doesn't support all of the functions. (Hold AUX, type 2, 846, #.) Then I added the particular functions that I wanted to program in, using the learning mode. (Hold AUX, then RECALL, then RECORD, to teach codes.) The key functions that I added were the arrows and SELECT, along with GUI MODE (which I programmed on the GUIDE button on the Dish remote); you may want to add others.

Hello ! Sorry but I can't tell you if it would work without a receiver,the receiver is a decoder and I don't it would work without.....

if the receiver works and not the remotes, it probably means your remote does not have the same codes as the receiver. Try putting the codes in all of them again

Just pick up the receiver. You can then push the up and down keys, if you need to adjust the in coming volume.

To do anything, first you have to set it up right, program the rf-20 to take the place of all your remotes. My setup uses the audio receiver as the "heart" of the system. The DVD and cable box feed the receiver with audio and video, then the receiver feeds the projector and speakers. I hit "audio" from the main menu, then that switches the rf-20 into a control mode for the receiver. One of the menu options is "input", by pushing that button, the receiver toggles through all possible hdmi input options. You can also program one of the buttons as a "macro" which will automatically turn the components into the right operating position. It takes pre-programming about 10 steps for my system to do it right, but is very possible.

Unfortunately the replacement receiver does not come with instructions for pairing. I have the instructions for my receiver and collar set though. So I'll list the steps below.Step one: make sure both receiver and remote are on.Step two: remove screw on receiver, you will see a small hole. The reset button is inside.Step three: gently poke the reset hole with a clip, pin, or similar object, the red LED will blink on the receiver. Proceed with next step within five seconds of pressing reset.Step four: press V1( or V2 depending on which side of the remote you would like to pair the receiver to). The receiver should respond with a solid LED light and vibrate.And that's it! Good luck and happy training. Unfortunately the replacement receiver does not come with instructions for pairing.

Sry to max the range look for a plastic screw on the receiver electronics board, use a plastic or wooden "screwdriver" to turn it. Just sand something to a bevel. Have someone walk away hitting the remote button till it won't work then use the screw to fine tune it. Unless the receiver is digital but not likely at this price point.
