Hopper Remote Manual PDF?

Anyone have one? I wanted to look up my device codes before the guy got here.

I haven't found a manual yet, but these new remotes are made by UEI, so THIS UEI lookup page will work as well as the DirecTV lookup page since they have UEI remotes as well. If you use the DirecTV page, just drop the leading digit that represents the device type. For example 31374 is simply AUX 1374 where 3 means AUX or Audio. The JP1 Lookup Tool will work as well.

Dish remotes do not seem to be supported on that site. Just as a drill, I asked for code to use for an LG HDTV I have. It came back with a four-digit number, while my present Dish remote uses a three-digit code for this TV.

You don't need those 4 digit codes with the Hopper and Joey. It asks what brand of TV and DVD player you're using and usually hooks right up. If not, enter the model number and you're good to go.

I know they aren't. I'm telling you all UEI remotes, including the new Hopper remote, use the codes I posted. Just pick any model and do a code search. Your present Dish remote is completely different. The old Dish codes are totally incompatible with the new remotes. The codes I posted will work, 100% guaranteed. Just compare them when you do the setup and you'll find they match perfectly.

But the easiest solution has already been posted, which is to just wait and use the setup wizard on the Hopper Remote Manager screen.

Thanks! Did not know about the Hopper Remote Manager screen. I assume the Joey has a similar screen.

I hope so, it looks like all three are the same remote. I'm mid-install now.

The new Dish remotes are very sophisticated. They use the ZigBee protocol, so they do pairing, discovery and encryption similar to Bluetooth. It's also 2-way for loading codes and backups, restoring, locating, and even showing the battery level on screen. So no more addresses to set or remember, no different frequencies to deal with. It all works like wifi now.
