Dish Network receiver DP508 no UHF remote
 

This receiver supports a Dish remote control that transmits IR(line of
sight) and UHF(through the walls).

It's definitely a fault in the receiver with UHF reception. IR works fine
and I've tried different remotes. It won't even work with the remote inches
from the antenna. Anyone know a fix for the receiver other than shipping it
out or replacing it?

address codes? reboot reciever? Take batteries out of
remote overnight and start from scratch?

If it worked with that receiver in the past, but stopped, then you
have a
problem.

If it never worked with that receiver, it probly has the "code" set
to the
wrong number. Look in your DISH receiver book and it will tell you
how
to locate the code the DISH receiver is set to, and how to program the
remote to that code. In this manner, several UHF remotes can be used
in the same house with several mating DISH receivers without
interaction.

Or somebody fooling with the remote reset the address code to something
else, by accident. Happened to me when a pair of pre-teens came to visit.

As I said in the original post, different remotes, same problem. It was
intermittent at first.
I know it's a problem with the receiver, I'm looking for a fix from someone
who knows these receivers.
