Why does your dish tv remote automatically tune in channel 60?

DISH remotes have a feature called Sat Auto-Tune. When SAT is pressed, it will change the TV to whatever channel is programmed into the remote. This can help make sure you are on the right channel in case it gets changed. The steps below will help you disable the auto-tune.

1.) Press and hold the TV mode button until all the mode buttons light up.

2.) Press the STAR (*) button and the TV button will light up.

3.) Enter 00 on the number pad.

4.) Press the POUND (#) button and TV should flash three times.

5.) Press the SAT button and auto-tune will be disabled.

To enable auto-tune simply replace the 00 with the channel required to view DISH Network programming.
