Does this work with Dish Network?

We don't have dish. But it broke pretty soon after we bought it. Good luck!

I could not get the back off the battery box because the screw holding it stripped out. After prying it off, installing batteries and taping the cover on again, the unit did not work AT ALL. I trashed it and wrote review of the whole problem with it. I'm sorry, but since it never worked for me in the first place, I cannot foresee it working...ever, for anyone .

Mine came with the screw already screwed into the battery compartment door and I was unable to remove it without breaking the unit and consequently trashing it when it would not function AT ALL.

It works with the DISH Hopper. You can even watch the shows saved on it without transferring them back to the Hopper. It uses USB 2.0.

I no longer have A system that uses that remote. You should contact Dish and ask them

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

I could not get the anser dish 5000 to work at all with dish network. I upgraded to the 1518 carry out and it works well with one reciever. If you want to use 2 reciever you will need to call winegard, call right when they open or you will never get to speak with anyone. They will tell you how it needs to be setup and how it works. There are no written instructions available even though they advertise it as a 2 reciever dish.

I agree. The Hopper and the OTA will only work with activated Dish service. As suggested why not purchase a TiVo to record programs with an antenna for reception of the local signals.

I don't think so. According to the description, the receiver says it is compatible with current Dish subscription.

Ed. TiVo does NOT work with any Dish Network or Direct TV signal. It will only with with cable and you need to purchase a special card to make that work. I only use the over the air TV and also watch programs on Netflix and Huluplus. They cover most shows on Dish except sports.

No. It has an internal smart card if you like to name it that way. Dish receivers do not use smart cards anymore like in the past. It has an on screen smart card number which you should tell dish network to activate.

I have Dish and it works with it. I shouldn't conjecture about Direct. It also works with Over the Air for me.

I don't know my dish model #. We just upgraded to Dish HD a couple of months ago and it works for us.

My sister has it hooked up with her cable and it works great. I have Dish network and cannot get it to operate with any of my sets. I can get it to operate the TV's but not control their box, which is of no use to me.

Not sure - I purchased it for my mom's roommate in a nursing home and it works just fine with their network - it is a limited basic version of either dish or direct tv. The remotes used prior were the regular ones that came with the tv.

I had no trouble using it with my Samsung TV. Actually, the remotes worked without have to enter any code, etc. I don't have a dish so I can't help you there. Sorry.

I don't use dish network but it does catch HD channels without having a cable box, which Turner Broadcasting says is required, but it's not. That's the best info I have. It works great, otherwise. Only one con, each time you turn it on, instead of going directly to TV, it goes to DVD and you always have to change the mode. That's a pain.

Any dish receiver will work as long as it does not require a broadband connection. If you cant get the receiver GM5000 to work. you maybe forgetting a step like I did. Start from scratch and follow the manual. What I don't like is having to spend an hour on the phone every time we move.

The only thing I am aware of that you can get for this is another remote but not from Dish. You have to search to find a compatible remote if the one that comes with unit fails. The unit works as advertised.
