Hello,

Welcome to the Best Buy Forums! Do you have the model number of the Dish remote you have?

King regards,

[LittleRock8]

Here are a list of numbers on the Dish remote. 21.1 IR/UHF Pro, FCC ID: QVEFSK4U2, 186371. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the response. Have you tried checking out this guide on how to pair the remote with the TV? https://my.dish.com/cms-files/remotes/21/quick-start-21.pdf 

Please let me know, if not I'll see what other articles they may have.

I have a Hercules 8i1 remote, and an insignia fire tv model#NS-32DF301NA19, I I used the auto setup feature on this remote and only the volume and off/on commands work, maybe if there's some codes you know of I could use them to program my remote

I just bought an Insignia TV: 

Insignia™ - 32" Class N10 Series LED HD TV

Model:NS-32D310NA21

I am trying to program my DirecTV remote to control the TV.  I have gone through the process and tried all of the suggested codes that come up on screen, as well as those suggested on the insignia website at

www.insigniaproducts.com/remotecodes

They are all basically the same codes.  None of them work. 

The remote is a DirecTV "RC66RX" model.  

Based on my reading of this thread, I suspect that you are going to tell me to contact DirecTV and get a new remote, but I would rather not.  I don't know if you've ever tried dealing with them, but it is not easy.  And I have this remote programmed to work with all my other accessories already.  Annoying...

Good Luck. I have a 19 inch Insignia and I've been trying for 3 years to get a code with my Direct tv remote to work.

Welcome to the Best Buy Forums!

Hello arachmiel. Thanks for stopping by our community forums. I understand that you wanted to use your current remote with your new TV as this is already connected to your other devices. It's my understanding that this model remote is an older version and DIRECTV does have newer versions of their remotes that connects without needing a code. If the remote does not recognize any of the codes to connect it to the TV, it's possible that changing the remote to a newer version may resolve this. I know you did not want to have to contact DIRECTV, however if you've already tried all the codes and followed the steps to program the remote correctly, then this may be the best option. DirectTV can walk you through their troubleshoot steps for their remote and may be able to send you a new remote if nothing else works.

Best,

Ns 40D510NA19 . Lost remote. Will a remote control app work?
Also got: these remote controls- Sony rmt-d197a, rmt-vb100u, sharp g1324sa, direct TV rc3053707 and element remote control. Don't know if though. It looks like an LG remote probably no more then 10 yrs old.
This tv is a really great tv and very satisfied with it. Been bout 3 yrs iv had it and no issues. That's why when I choose to upgrade to a smart tv I wanna stick with insignia.
Best buy does trade in then pay the difference?... Thank you.
