To use these codes. First turn the dishplayer off. Wait for the green
led on the front of the unit to stop flashing then hit the options button.
Then type in the code. If
successful you will see the lights on the front of unit flash. Some
users find that hiting the options button more than once helps ensure you
get it to work.
Some of these codes you may not want to use on your dishplayer. Particulary
the ones that reset or force software downloads of the unit. To make it
easy to identify them. Codes that will result in downtime, and should
only be used if really needed in Red.
201
Displays information on the iNews channel (channel 201) information
downloads.
217
WebTV dialup options. This is really handy because then you don't have
to dial into the webtv software to get into it. See 77437 for more info.
32768
Complete Software Reset. WARNING This code resets your unit back to
factory settings, you lose your settings, favorites, channels you've turned
off etc... Obviously not one that you probably want to try but it erases
the memory and you have to walk back through the setup stuff. Note that
you don't have to call dish to get up again. But you do loose some settings.
One user has reported this repaired a problem with not being able to connect
to WebTV after adding PTV, he used this code at DISH's recommendation.
Additionally, if you want to switch back to the original non-PTV remote
you can use this code to go back, if all you want to do is switch remotes
use the 6429 code.
I trieds this once after an aborted nightly update (which messed up my system, could not pause Live tv, kept saying NO INFORMATION). It did not reset the entire unit, just a few setup proceedures and a download of information and it was all fixed. I did not have to setup the switch, or download software for the Dish-500. I do not know why it happened this way, but only took seven minutes total with the information update. I also did this code once and it DID have to be completely reset-up from factory, that took a while.
In most cases it will fix problems that haven't been resolved by removing the Smart Card, or by unplugging the unit.
411
Displays the WebTV Technical Information Screen. Displays the WebTV
client and boot software version. The SSID, Chip version, SysConfig (unknown
purpose), information on the modem, and the hard drive model number.
511
Displays the Receiver Information Screen. Contains receiver id, smartcard
id, smartcard version, receiver software version, receiver boot software
version, receiver customer service id, and dish networks url. You can access
the webtv screen (i.e. 411 code) from a button off this page.
611
Displays a memory dump of the memory in the device. Some people think
it clears the memory of the device. But it looks like it just displays
the memory and doesn't clear it.
711
Displays Satellite Download Diagnostics Screen.
7225000
Forces a redownload of the Electronic Program Guide (EPG), appears
to be the same as a 211.
77437
Obscure WebTV dialing settings. Let's you change the dialing prefix
or manually enter an access number. One user reported that he can prevent
WebTV from dialing long distance numbers by selecting the "Do not dial
1 before a long distance number" option.
8675309
Forces unit to redownload webtv software. This takes 30 minutes so
don't waste your time trying it. If you want to cancel just turn the unit
off, but it does loose your webtv setting and you have to walk through
the normal setup process, so fair warning.
031158
Runs a demo for WebTV. My receiver tells me it doesn't have a copy
of the demo to play and that it'll download it later. Probably something
that only works on dealer units like the extra channels. Note that 061185
turns this demo off. However it doesn't do anything but download the EPG
if you don't have the demo.
7264
Calls for a new tellyscript. This is an important code to use when
having dialing problems, your modems settings are stored both in a file
on the unit and backed up on webtv's servers. The telly script tells the
modem things like, If 56K is enabled or disabled. When you do the 7264
code it erases the telly script from your unit and than dials webtv's 800
number and downloads a new version that still has your personal settings
on it from the webtv servers. This code clears up most dialing problems
when trying to connect to webtv service.
6429
Resets the unit to work with the old remote for PTV functionality.
That's all it does. If you use the new remote it switches back again.
90210
ie artemis tour. For those wondering what Artemis is, it was the early
name for WebTV Artemis Inc. So this was probably an early WebTV demo code.
12357
Dials the 800 number for webtv automatically. Also a dealer says it
erases a lot.
