Programming Satellite remote

[Marsh77]

I have a bell 9242 and two remotes that will not program to the receiver. The remotes are both from dual tuner receivers and they are “2” second tv remotes. 1- is a 6.3  IR/UHF Pro and 1- 6.4 IR/UHF Pro.

Have tried selecting A and B switch in the battery compartment.

of course already held sat….number…..# etc… about 10 times..

What is next step? Way of rebooting remote ? Or ?? 

thanks

Seems like no A or B button needed. You can find info on how to program the remote here: How to program my Bell Satellite TV remote control

Hi @Marsh77 

The 9242 is a dual tuner with the option to connect and view two separate TVs.  This means, the receiver can be controlled with two different remotes and will only work with the remote programmed for the tuner your receiver is set to.  Make sure your reciever is on the proper mode by pressing the "mode" button on the front of your receiver.  Toggle between the modes and see if the receiver responds to the remote.

I upgraded to a new 6500 receiver and it will not recognize my old remote. The old remote isn't recognized by the new receiver when I press Ok/Select as requested during initial startup so they don't pair and I can't go any further.

The old remote is very old and there are no instructions on the Bell site to help, they're all for newer remotes.

If I'd have know I would have bought the new remote but am hoping the old one can be paired. It did work with my model 4100 receiver.

Any help would be appreciated.

There are a few videos online if you google phrases like “Bell 4100 remote programming”. No sure if they are the same as your remote but you can try.

How do I pair my new universal remote with my 3100 receiver....the directions start with pushing the sys info on the front of

[Frustrated 1]

There is no sys info on the 3100 receiver

There is no system info button on the front of the Bell Satellite 3100 receiver. Please verify your receiver is the 3100 model. Which model of new remote did you purchase? Did you order it from Bell?

Was it the Basic remote (refurbished) model? This remote control comes programmed to work with your receiver. This link will explain the functions of 3100 receiver remote: Bell Satellite TV remote control basics

To program the remote to control your TV and other devices, I have included the following instructions:

To operate your TV

1. Locate the remote programming code (PDF 3.41 MB) for your TV.
2. Press and hold TV until SAT, AUX and VCR light up.
3. Release TV. It will start to flash.
4. Enter one of the codes for your TV model, then press #. TV should flash three times.
5. Try to control your TV. If it doesn't work, use one of the other codes from the list.

To operate other devices

1. Locate the remote programming code (PDF 3.41 MB) for your device.
2. Press and hold AUX until SAT, TV AUX and VCR light up.
3. Release AUX. It will start to flash.
4. Enter one of the codes for your device, then press #. AUX should flash three times.
5. Try to control the other device. If it doesn't work, use one of the other codes from the list.

Please Note: Depending on your remote & receiver, you can access System Info by any one of the following:

1. Press the System Info button on the front panel of your receiver, if available.
2. Press the Menu button twice on your Bell remote.
3. Press Power on your receiver and then press the up arrow button.

That really is my issue….i bought the universal remote from Bell for my 3100 which is supposed to be compatible but the only directions to pair the remote with the receiver starts with pushing the system info button which the 3100 doesn’t have🤦‍♀️

Please reference my earlier reply. You can try substituting one of the alternatives I put together for you. I can not promise you this will work. It is a back door method for you to gain access to the system on a discontinued receiver & remote control. You should be able to change settings as shown to pair a remote.

If this does not work, then your issue is more likely related to the receiver & the remote.

The following is is what I suggested earlier to access the system. Did you do try this?

Please Note: Depending on your remote & receiver, you can access System Info by any one of the following:

1. Press the System Info button on the front panel of your receiver, if available.
2. Press the Menu button twice on your Bell remote.
3. Press Power on your receiver and then press the up arrow button.
4. TV remote, press SYS INFO to display the System Information screen, if available.

As an alternative, you can reach out to Bell & see if they will accept a return for the remote. They do have a return policy. If purchased online, you return the device via mail. The device is in “like new” condition with all original packaging, manuals and accessories included.

Can I use a slim remote on my 6500 Receiver 

[WelshTerrier]

Good Day.

You can use the Bell Slim remote to control your PVR or receiver (6500, 9500, and 7500 models).

If you require a remote control replacement, it can be ordered on MyBell.
