Some Shaw Direct receivers have the capability of receiving remote commands across large distances and through walls using their UHF antennas. To keep the Shaw Direct remotes from interfering with each other, it’s possible to set a custom remote address for the remote control. See the article "My receiver changes channels itself" for more information.
For the receiver to accept any remote address other that 000, you will need to change the corresponding address on the receiver.
To change the address, go to "Menu", then "Preferences", expand "Hardware Settings", and select "Remote Control Address".
- Press and hold "ENTER" and "MUTE" until the mode buttons flash in rotation.
Enter the remote code:
Receiver Codes |
000 |
001 |
002 |
003 |
004 |
005 |
006 |
007 |
- Press "ENTER". The mode buttons should flash twice.
- Press "Guide" to confirm the code was successful.
After entering one of the above codes, press the "POWER" button to see if the receiver turns off. If not, repeat Steps 1-3 using a different code, until the receiver does respond.
