My old remote stopped working and so I got a new one and needed to get it to work with my TV. The TV is a Samsung UN46D7000. The Dish Network remote code for the VIP722 is 738. To program hold the “TV” button at the top of the remote until the remote’s buttons flash. Then on the remote enter “738#”. And that’s it.

Manuals can be found here.

One would think that there would be an obvious option in the menu to get your VIP722 to reload it’s program guide. Unfortunately this is not the case, but you can trick it.

Press menu. Go to “system setup” (6), then “installation” (1), and then “point dish” (1). Choose “check switch” and then “test”. Wait for the tests to complete. Then choose “done”. Then cancel out of all menus. Wait for the receiver to acquire the signal. Wait for the program guide to download.

The whole rigmarole takes about 15 minutes or so.
