Issue with Dish Network..

I was tired of watching the PAC 12 Network in standard definition so I finally added dish network to my house....

So once the installer leaves, I play around with the dish.... Apparently the power button on the dish remote jams the signal for the Samsung TV remote. I can't use the Samsung TV remote to change the source or up the volume. Has anyone heard of this and what can I do? I have to unplug the TV for it to reset.... But this isnt acceptable...

Has anyone ever heard of this???
 
I have Dish and my remote works fine with a Sony television. I use the Dish remote to change channels and volume. Yes, I would contact Dish.
 
there is usually an alternate channel setting for the remote so that they don't conflict. go to settings in the guide and see if you can find a way to change the remote settings. i had the issue, once, years ago, with a directv receiver.

and, now your sister really owes me.

Get a new TV and quit whining.
 
Move the weber grill to the other side of the room so its out of the way. Also, DBT wants his hoodie back. And that Rusty thing was so not ok.

If your remote is correctly paired to the TV you have no need for the TV remote. Do you have the Hopper system?
 
I've had a weird issue. My surround sound in HD is really muted. I have to turn the volume to about 60% or so. If I go to an SD telecast, it about blows my speakers out. The Dish tech was baffled and just kind of blew it off.

That's the problem.... i have Comcast and dish on one tv.... The pairing of the remotes screwed this up....

I am on my 3rd hour of trying to fix this with Samsung and Dish people....
 
There are 4 (or more now, it used to be 4) different "channels" the dish remote can use; change to another channel, and the problem should go away.

Also, the dish remote, when it's operating the dish receiver uses radio for its signal. Most TV remotes use infrared, and the dish remote supports IR when it's programmed for your TV. (so radio to control the satellite receiver, IR to control the TV.)

The dish remote usually has two power buttons, one that only turns on whatever piece of the system the selector is turned to, and a separate one to turn on the whole system (dish receiver, TV and, if you have a separate one, sound system). So if you have the remote set to "sat," one power button will just turn on the dish box, and the other one will try and turn everything on, if the remote is set to "tv" one will just turn on the TV and the other one will try and turn everything on, etc

If the problem happens when the remote is in sat mode and you press the power button that only turns on the dish box, that indicates that the TV also has a radio remote (which is really unusual), and so changing either the radio channel for the TV remote (if you can) or the dish remote should fix the problem.

If the problem only happens with the whole system power button, then the problem is with the IR programming of the dish remote. Easy solution is to not use that system power button on the dish remote, and turn on/off the TV with its own remote. Harder solution is to try to program different Samsung "codes" on the dish remote and see if a different one works without generating the same problem.

I had the same issue. Got one of those sound bars and it is perfect. TV is still in good shape, but think the sound was just starting to go.

The audio output signals from the HD and SD channels are completely different. Your SD audio is likely a linear PCM 2.0 stereo signal, while the HD audio is probably a Dolby 5.1 signal split into 5 distinct audio subchannels plus the bass/subwoofer component. You'll get more power in the SD audio than the HD audio, so it doesn't require as much amplification. To put it another way, in the move Boogie Nights the character Buck Swoope mentions that it "kicks it up another.... three or four ... quads per channel... but that's technical talk....That doesn't really concern you".

Back in WWII the captain of a German U-boat always used to bring his pet pooch on long deployments, where groups of these ships known as wolfpacks, where they'd hunt allied shipping lanes. Those dogs were known as hundunters... translated to English... subwoofers.

Why didn't the OP get Sling TV? I have Comcast's 150 mbps internet service and nothing else.
