Dish Remote Codes for Vizio TV

If you’re a Dish Network subscriber, you can program your Dish remote to handle your Vizio TV’s essential functions like power and volume. This eliminates the need for a separate TV remote and creates a more streamlined viewing experience. This guide will provide the correct codes and a clear, step-by-step programming process.

Vizio TV Code List for Dish Network Remotes

Finding a verified code is the most critical part of this setup. Dish remotes typically use 3-digit, 4-digit, or 5-digit codes for Vizio TVs. We have curated a list of the most reliable codes to save you from having to search through your manual. It’s best to try the 4-digit codes first, as they have the highest success rate.

How to Program a Dish Remote with a Vizio TV

The direct code entry process for Dish remotes is slightly different from other brands but is very reliable.

1. On your Dish remote, press and hold the TV button at the top until all four mode buttons (SAT, TV, DVD, AUX) light up.
2. Release the TV button.
3. Enter the first code from our list above using the number pad.
4. The TV mode button you selected will flash three times to confirm the code has been accepted.

Aim the remote at your Vizio TV and test the POWER and VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons. If they work, you are done. If not, simply repeat the four steps above with the next code on our list. The process for other satellite providers is very similar, as you can see in our guide for pairing a DirecTV remote with a Vizio TV.

Troubleshooting: Using the Code Scan Feature

If you have tried all the manual codes without success, your Dish remote has a powerful scanning feature. This process forces the remote to search through its library to find a compatible code.

1. Press and hold the TV mode button until all four buttons light up.
2. Release the button, and then press the POWER button once.
3. Press the CHANNEL UP arrow repeatedly. Keep the remote aimed at the Vizio TV.
4. The remote will cycle through codes with each press. The moment your TV turns off, stop immediately and press the # (Pound) button.
5. The TV button will flash three times, locking in the new code.

At this point, even if the remote is programmed, an internal glitch can cause issues. Performing a full Vizio remote reset often clears these hidden problems and is a useful final step.

Conclusion:

By using the curated code lists and following the correct programming or scanning procedure, you can easily get your Dish Network remote to act as the primary controller for your Vizio TV. This simple setup declutters your living space and makes your daily TV viewing much more convenient.
