    612VIP receiver and 6.4 remote not working together

    Technically no. They charged me $20 for a remote and $21 shipping thru UPS and it was supposed to be here in 2 days. I still haven't gotten it yet after 6 days, so I don't know if it is another 6.4 remote (which is what she said she was sending) or a 21.0 remote that Matt (above) said they...

    612VIP receiver and 6.4 remote not working together

    Thanks TimberWolf!!! That made all the difference. One of the keys didn't have UHF on the backside and once I reset the remote address back to the same as the receiver AND flipped that key over (which I didn't realize you could do) then it works. I now have a working remote. Unfortunately, I...

    Thanks for the tips Matt. I had already checked the UHF antenna several times. And it is in the correct location and not loose and sticking straight up with nothing blocking it in direct line of sight of the remote. I was using the silver tab. I did try what you suggested and held the remote...

    612VIP receiver and 6.4 remote not working together

    I am new to this forum. I have had a VIP612 DVR receiver for over a year now, maybe two years. When I initially got it as a present, the 6.4 remote that came with it didn't work. Dish Network sent me a new 6.4 remote that also didn't work. I was replacing an older 510 receiver and somewhere...
