Remote Controls
A remote control comes with each Hopper with Sling HD DVR or Joey Receiver. These
remotes use Ultra-High Frequency Second Generation (UHF-2G) radio frequencies to
control satellite TV programming. Be sure to set up each remote control to pair to and
operate the correct receiver in your home (see page 16).
R
EMOTE
The included remote control(s) give you access to all the features of your satellite TV
system, including whole-home DVR services available in a Hopper with Sling HD DVR.
You can set up each remote to control a DISH HD DVR satellite TV receiver, via radio
frequency (RF) signals, and as many as three other devices in the same room, via infrared
(IR) signals (see page 17). These devices can be a TV, a DVD or Blu-ray Disc™ player (or
VCR), and a third "auxiliary" device (such as an audio-system component or even a
second satellite TV receiver via line-of-sight infrared signals).
The following sections describe how to use the various features on the remote control(s)
included with your Hopper with Sling Whole-Home HD DVR system.
Remote Locator
Your Hopper with Sling HD DVR and Joey Receiver(s) have a feature to help you find a
lost remote control. On the left side of the front panel of the Hopper with Sling HD DVR
where the word Pull appears, lower the hinged panel door to reveal the control buttons,
including one labeled LOCATE REMOTE. Press this button, and in a few seconds the
remote will begin to beep to help you locate it. See "The Locate Remote feature" on
page 15.

Connect the Hopper with Sling to an HDTV to access, view and record HD and SD
programming. The programming from the receiver is delivered to the TV where your
Hopper with Sling is located using one or more audio/video interconnect cables.
The Hopper with Sling HD DVR is also the host for Whole-Home DVR services,
delivered to other TV(s) using existing in-home coaxial cable connections to Joey
Receiver(s). Each Joey Receiver links to a Hopper with Sling HD DVR and then
connects to an HDTV to view HD and SD programming or an SDTV to view SD and
down-converted HD programming.
