Hello!

Your best bet on a universal remote for the Dish system is one of these: The Radio Shack 15-2116 for about $30.00, or one of the Logitech Harmony models. These range in price from $60.00 to over $400.00. These two can be found at numerous places, but I listed the best prices I found on here in the products section so that you can look for yourself. One site that I'd highly recommend is remote central. They have a large selection and can point you in the right direction. Then you can compare prices with other sites like Newegg, Amazon, etc..

These remotes can program up to 4 different units at one time, and unlike other high end remotes, can learn the 57 kHz IR signal that the Dish remote uses. If you can't get your Dish remote to control another device, it's probably because the Dish remote is missing the codes.

The only solution for this situation is to get a true, code learning universal remote control.

I hope this helps solve the problem! Have a great day!
