How do you program a DISH controll to the reciever,NOT DVR?

[I hate this world]

My newest Dish Remote Control broke and I'm using a sort of older one but it's not programmed. I've had to use the receiver's up and down buttons just to change the channels. please help?

I hate this world,

I would be more than happy to assist you with that older remote. I have listed the steps below on how to program the remote to your receiver. If you have any other questions, let me know!

First, go to the System Info screen, then hold down the SAT button until all mode lights light up. Enter a number between 1 and 15 using the number pad on the remote, then press the pound (#) button. Once the SAT button blinks three times, press record. After that, test the remote and see if it works.
