I don't have Dish equipment but I do know how the commands work. The following is a protocol file that will work with a Program written by John Fine called MakeHex to generate Pronto Hex. Since the discrete power commands were recently discovered, perhaps as a result of a software upgrade it may be worth trying all the other commands.
Download MakeHex found here:
[Link: remotecentral.com]Read its readme and copy this text below and name it Dishplayer (old).irp and put it in the same directory with MakeHex. Use Notepad but make sure you save it as "all files" in the "Save as Type" pull down box below name in "Save As" otherwise it will put a suffix of .txt and it won't work.
I have included all the information that you will need to generate all 64 commands (0 to 63) for any System Address that you choose. For some units only the discrete power commands using System Address 32 will work but those affect all units.
Certain commands take a different device code. Most are 0 but some are 16. You will have to edit the irp file to make changes to System Address (vary the value of U) and device code D. Anything with a single quote in the far left of the column is a comment but it will be useful putting everthing in one place for futuer reference and MakeHex will just ignore most of this file.
