Sending Discrete Power On and Off

ENDING
Installers use discrete power on and power off IR commands when programming macro
commands into universal remote controls. Using an on-only or off-only command is more
effective than a toggle on/off command when trying to make sure the satellite TV receiver
is reliably in one state or the other. To use these discrete power on and power off
commands, complete the following:
T
IPS
• If you don't want to accidentally change channels on your TV (or VCR, if applicable),
then you may place the remote control in Limited Mode, as described on page 71.
• Make sure you have a remote-control antenna properly connected to the remote-
antenna jack on the back panel of your Hopper HD DVR. See page 13 for instructions.
Q
UESTIONS
• My remote doesn't control my receiver or other components. What should I do?
– Make sure the remote control is in the correct device mode (page 71).
– Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly (page 13).
– Verify (page 13) or adjust (page 69) the remote-control antenna connection.
• Why does my receiver change channels or display menus at random? A close
neighbor may have a DISH remote control set on the same address. If there is
significant radio-frequency interference with remote signals, then you may have to
install a UHF attenuator as described on page 70.
