I just got a Dish 811 HD receiver. I did not know it was UHF(RF) only. Kills all of my work on my TSU2000. Is there any Pronto or other macro-programmable remote that will work this receiver. I use many macros to make the system wife friendly.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Dish 811 comes with an UHF only remote. The receiver will work with either UHF or IR.

To get the IR's you can either get an older UHF/IR remote combingation, such as is sold with the Dish 6000 receiver.. OR

You can download one of the CCF files that has a Dish 6000 and those IR's will work with your Dish 811.

Dave-

Thanks for the quick reply.

Are you sure about this? I was told by the installer that the receiver was UHF only. The remote actually has IR capability, but I was told that the IR was for controlling other components. Have you used 6000 codes for an 811?

I can understand the mistake if he was saying that the REMOTE will only send UHF commands under the dish setting, but he seemed insistent that a Pronto wouldn't work.

Really I would be happy with even basic functionality. So my wife can turn everything on, set the appropriate inputs, and select channels in one place.

I guess I can try it in the meantime. Just haven't had time to do anything, nevermind reprogram my setup from DirecTV to Dish.

This has been discussed many times on the dbstalk forum. At first people thought like you only UHF but they soon found out their old remotes would control the new 811.
