I'm not sure what you're asking. All Dish/Echostar receivers that I've used that support RF can also be controlled by IR.

I'm pretty sure that the receiver already comes set to accept IR codes. You just need to add the Dish receiver to your Harmony remote and should be all set once you include it in an activity.

But you can also adjust a setting in the menu of the receiver to enable IR input if it doesn't already respond to IR. The setting should definitely enable IR output on the original remote at the very least (for testing, because you won't be using that remote of course)

See today's post in this thread for the specific menus to navigate: [Link: remotecentral.com]
