I am a newbie at this remote control stuff so let me start by apologizing if I am asking something obvious or stupid. I ran to the local Wal-Mart after our dogs saw fit to eat our original Dish/Echostar remote and was wondering if someone can help: I managed to get this remote to function except in the following ways -- the Exit and Enter buttons do not work -- I am using code 0775 which was listed in the manual under Echostar. The others listed (1005, 0280) do not work. By not having these buttons, I am able to go to the onscreen guide or main menu and navigate up and down but cannot exit them, nor select any program or menu option. In order to get out I have to power down the receiver and use channel up/down. (a real pain you-know-where) Is my remote defective or do I have to do some kind of programming to make these buttons work (when I press them now the LED does not light up as the others might upon pressing)? I did check the UEI site and the All for One site but they do not list this remote -- (too old/new?)
