How to Fix Dish Hopper Remote Not Working
If your Dish Hopper remote is not working, there are several steps you can try to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Check the batteries:
The first thing to check is the batteries in your remote. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and that they are not dead. If the batteries are low or dead, replace them with new ones and try the remote again.
Check the connection between the remote and the Hopper receiver:
Make sure that there are no objects blocking the line of sight between the remote and the receiver. Also, try moving closer to the receiver to see if that improves the connection.
Reset the remote:
If the remote is still not working after checking the batteries and the connection, you may need to reset the remote. To reset the remote, press and hold the reset button (located on the back of the remote) for three seconds. Release the reset button and wait for the remote to reset.
Sync the remote to the Hopper receiver:
If the remote is still not working after resetting it, you may need to sync the remote to the Hopper receiver. To do this, press and hold the SAT button on the remote for three seconds. The SAT button is located at the top of the remote. Release the SAT button and wait for the remote to sync with the receiver.
Check for software updates:
If the remote is still not working after trying all of the above steps, there may be an issue with the software on the Hopper receiver. In this case, you may need to check for software updates and install any available updates. To do this, go to the main menu on the Hopper and select “System Setup,” then “Software.” Follow the on-screen instructions to check for updates and install any that are available.
If you have tried all of the above steps and the Dish Hopper remote is still not working, you may need to contact Dish Network customer support for further assistance. They may be able to troubleshoot the issue and provide additional support.
