The address is different frequencies so you can control different receivers simultaneously without changing another receiver.
I think you are referring to RF. The IR address he is asking about is a different codeset. I don't deal with Dish all that often, but I believe they have multiple codesets for their boxes. So, in order to control the box, you have to make sure both the box and your remote are set to the same IR codeset.
