  If your Dish Network Remote Control isn't working, it could be due to several reasons: * Ensure the remote is in the correct mode. For example, use SAT mode for the satellite receiver. * If you have a multi-room receiver, verify you're using the correct remote (TV1 or TV2) for your location. * Try replacing the batteries. * For all receivers except DISH Player-DVR 942, ViP222 and ViP622 DVR, make sure the A/B switch is in the A position.

  If your Dish Network UHF Pro remote control's performance is poor from a distance: * Ensure the UHF antenna is connected to the receiver and isn't touching anything. * Adjust the tilt angle of the receiver's UHF antenna. * Move the receiver to different locations, ideally high and above other equipment. * Use a coaxial cable to place the UHF antenna outside the entertainment center. * Keep any nearby off-air antenna away from the UHF remote antenna; don't place it on the receiver.
