Anyone know of a really good universal remote that will work with DISH Network?

Question

I am looking for a universal remote, like a nice one, that will operate, our Visio Brand TV, our new Panasonic Home Theater system, and our DISH network satellite all on the same remote...where's the best place to find one that will do that?! Anyone know???

Answer 1

Write down all your brands of electronics with the model number. Go to a local consumer electronics store. Ask the clerk if you can open the package unless the package contents lists all the models. Or look at the models of remotes available and check for information on that remote that you can search for online. If all your items are new (last 1 to 2 years) then you might match them all. If all your items are older than 5 years look for remotes in hardware stores. Just a good guess. Good luck. Matching all the items can be difficult. You can search for DISH universal remotes online such as at Yahoo shopping.

Answer 2

Dish actually is a universal remote so look on ebay or call dish and get one of theirs. For a while they even had a programmable universal remote. My dish remote runs everything in the system.
