These were from cnet and are relatively accurate. I have two of these sets, and one of the panels is considerably darker than the other. Adjust the contrast and brightness accordingly.

Change the IR frequency for a Dish Network Remote

September 30th, 2009 derek No comments

I have a Philips 32″ LCD  - Model 32/PFL6704D - as my bedroom television.

It bathes the entire room with IR. This is a massive pain (My Roku refuses to work with this TV doing this). Here is a quick fix for getting a Dish Network receiver to transmit on a different frequency:
1. Display the System Information screen

2. Note the Remote Address

3. Hold the Sat button until all the mode buttons light up

4. Enter a number between 1 and 15 that is not the number noted in step 2

5. Press the # key (Sat button should blink three times upon release of the # key)

6. Press the Record key
