The 20.1 will control all Dish receivers in IR mode. IR requires that you point the remote directly at the receiver. Newer receivers like the Hopper and Joey will need to be set to ir mode to use this remote since they originally shipped with a UHF remote that does not require direct line of sight with the receiver. Kindly Note: Dish Network 20.1 TV1 #1 Satellite Receiver IR Remote Control compatible with most Dish Network and Bell Satellite Receivers. But it may not be able to control your other devices, such as LED TVs and speakers.
