how do you add a specific channel? Need channel 73 to for cable box

Trying to set tv up and select channel 73 in order to watch Dish Network.  Is it possible with this tv?

  • You can purchase aftermarket universal remotes that have Roku tv numeral keys 0-9 preset. Like Best Buy Insignia universal remotes in 3, 5, and 8 device models. The Roku tv code in them is tv 4398. Check online for open box sales.

    Oh that’s a good idea.  And since the Dish remotes themselves are programmable multi-device remotes, I wonder if the Dish remote has codes for that TV?  The remotes for VIPs are pretty old, but I think they get updates for new codes. I know newer Dish remotes get updates but I’m not sure about the 20.0 remotes, which I assume is what you have.  (The Dish remotes can also learn, but for learning, you’d need the universal remote to teach it.)

    By the way, for a couple of months now, anyone with a VIP receiver who has called into Dish for any purpose has been told that that their VIP is soon to be obsolete and they must schedule a visit to get updated.  So, if you ever have to call, you might want to plan ahead as to how you plan to respond.

        Hi jikennedy,

        Thank you for sharing this information with us!

        Once you have successfully set up your Roku TV, you may download the applications and channels you wish to watch, log in using your DISH Network membership credentials, and your Roku will be ready to stream those channels.

        We hope this helps, and if you need anything else, please keep us posted.

        Kind regards,

        John
