Hello,

My fiance and I just got the Philips RC9800i. We set up everything really easily EXCEPT for our Dish Network receiver. It's the HD receiver, and it says the model no. is Dish811. Anyway I've tried setting it up as a tivo device, and satellite device etc. It won't recognize the power/standby button that it asks you to press, and the autoscan didn't work either. Can anyone help??? The purpose of buying this was to consolidate all of our remotes into ONE, so I would hate to still have to use the dish remote to change channels etc. Please help!!!!

Thanks!

You can manually learn the power on/off ir-code of your original remote in the select and learn menu. In fact if the device is not recognized at all you need to learn all the buttons manually. It's hard work but the reward is worth it. I had to set-up such a device myself also and that was even from the philips brand (can you imagine).

Good luck

Regards,

I tried to do it manually but it first asked to do the power button and it just could not recognize it, so therefore I couldn't move on with the learning process. It's really weird!!!

What I meant is add the device whithout auto discovery and than program every single button by learning the ir-code, so don't choose Learn & Match or Autoscan, but select and try!

Ohh ok. I'll give that a try. Thanks! Doesn't it seem odd though that it wouldn't recognize a new Dish Receiver and Remote?

811 dish remotes send ir & uhf signals at the same time you would need an old school dish remote that is not uhf to learn the codes been there done it on other learning remotes

good luck with your unit ,
