Some DirecTV and Dish boxes are installed in RF radio frequency.
We need to activate IR (infrared) in the box.
Use DirecTV or Dish remote and look for something like:
Menu - Settings - Remote Control - Activate IR
or something similar. If needed, consult your manual or do Google search.
Then, set Flipper as normal: DirecTV is usually 2324 and Dish 2294. (there can be others depending n your model box).
As always, make sure the box is in direct line of sight, and that you are 4-5 feet away from the box.
Reset: press and hold ADD till solid, then 954.
(1) Set TV : press VOL. If working, go to STB. If not, then: press and hold TV til the light turns solid, then enter the 4 digit code (test on/off and VOL)
(2) Set STB: press and hold STB til the light turns solid, then enter the 4 digit code (Direct TV usually 2324 - consult code list if needed).
