Dish 40.0 UHF 2G Remote for Hopper & Joey

The DISH 40.0 UHF 2G Remote is a direct replacement remote control engineered to operate DISH Hopper and Joey receivers using UHF signals.

This replacement remote was designed specifically for use with DISH Hopper and Joey receivers. If your original remote was lost, damaged, or no longer pairing reliably, the 40.0 model restores UHF control to your set-top units without changing receiver settings. It communicates with the Hopper and Joey over UHF — not infrared — which helps maintain reliable line-of-sight-free operation across a living room with furniture, cabinets, or other obstacles.

How will this remote work with my Hopper or Joey receiver?

The DISH 40.0 remote pairs directly with Hopper and Joey receivers using UHF transmission. Pairing is typically done by following the receiver’s on-screen pairing steps, after which the remote sends commands wirelessly at UHF frequencies for navigation and playback control.

• Compatible only with DISH Hopper and Joey models.
• Uses UHF signal for non-line-of-sight control.
• Supports standard navigation, channel, and playback buttons.

What functions can I expect from the replacement remote?

This remote provides the essential controls you rely on for watching TV: navigation arrows, OK/select, menu access, guide, volume and channel control, and playback keys. It’s intended to match the functionality needed to operate DISH receiver menus, DVR playback, and basic system commands.

• Navigation pad and menu/guide access for system control.
• Playback buttons for DVR functions like play, pause, rewind, and fast-forward.
• Volume and channel controls where applicable for paired receivers.

Does the 40.0 remote require any special setup or batteries?

Setup usually involves inserting batteries and following the Hopper or Joey on-screen prompts to pair the remote. No additional hardware is needed beyond standard batteries, and pairing steps are completed through the receiver’s menu when prompted.

• Requires standard batteries (check the remote for type and orientation).
• Pairing is completed via receiver on-screen pairing process.
• No extra adapters or IR extenders required for UHF connection.

Will this remote replace features of my original DISH remote?

The 40.0 remote is a functional replacement focused on operating Hopper and Joey receivers; it restores core navigation and playback features but may differ in button layout or extra manufacturer-specific keys. If you depended on unique shortcuts from a different model, verify feature parity before purchasing.

• Replaces essential controls for Hopper and Joey systems.
• May not include manufacturer-specific extra shortcut keys.
• Different button layout is possible compared with older remotes.

Who is this for: This DISH 40.0 UHF 2G Remote is intended for owners of DISH Hopper and Joey receivers who need a reliable replacement remote that uses UHF for better signal performance around the room. It suits households where the original remote is lost, broken, or no longer pairing, and for users who prefer a UHF-based remote to avoid strict line-of-sight limitations.
