Anyone had any luck getting a dish remote to run one of these?

Have you tried Device codes Scan, page 77 of 722 manual, I'm afraid if you get any code to work, you will only be able to control power , vol., and mute on your tv.

I tried the scan and so far no luck. I think I scanned long enough anyway.

I have an old Magnavox TV/VCR combo and it seemed like I pushed that button about 600 times before it locked in, but I did get it to work.

I also spent an evening trying to find a code that would allow me to use the Dish remote to run the VCR...no luck.

Very few "Universal" remotes support combos. Remotecentral.com might help. It might tell you that your unit si like another. Worth a shot at least.

Try 066. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Combo tvs are funny like that.

Gave me quite a chuckle with this. You must not have had the heart to tell her they didn't have that many channels to change too.

Any time you want to do a manual code search for combo units, instead of pressing "up arrow" press the down arrow instead. You'll start at the other end of the codes, and I usually find a combo unit code within the first 20-30 clicks or so.

Save yourself a thumb injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, or a callused thumb
