HDMI Switch controlled by Dish Remote?

[Giant25]

Does anyone have (or know of) an HDMI switch that they can control from a Dish Network remote (using the AUX button)? I have a 5.3 IR remote for TV1 that I was looking to program so I could switch to other HDMI devices without the cheap remote that seems to come with HDMI switches. I looked at monoprice, but thought I'd ask to see if anyone knows. If so, are there remote codes somewhere? Thanks.

You will need to get the new Dish Network 21.0 learning remote. It can "learn" the codes from the remote that came with your HDMI switch.

Thanks for the reply. I am familiar with the new remote and the fact that it can learn. Are you saying the the current remote I have will NOT work with an HDMI switch? I'd rather just keep what I have for now if that's an option.

Your current remote will most likely NOT work. The remote you have now only has a select number of codes of TVs, DVD players and VCRs. Unfortunately it does not have codes for Amplifiers and Switches.
