The first step is to identify your TCL TV model, as different models require different codes. For example, the TCL 40S325 model requires a specific code, whereas the TCL 50S325 model requires a different one.
Fortunately, Dish Network provides a list of universal remote codes that can be used for most TCL TVs, including the TCL 40S325 and TCL 50S325.

If your remote doesn't have a TV button, you can try using a different method. Press the HOME button twice, or if there's no HOME button, press the MENU once. This will take you to the Settings menu, where you can select Remote Control and follow the on-screen instructions to pair your remote with your TCL TV.
Here are the steps to follow for older DISH remote models:
- Remove the PULL tab on the back of the remote to activate it.
- Find the TV codes for your TCL TV model in the list of Dish TV remote codes.
- Press the Pound (# icon) button to save the pairing when your device turns off.
Alternatively, you can use the Pairing Wizard on newer DISH remotes, which gives you on-screen instructions and partially automates the code-finding process.
Identify Remote Model
To identify your Dish remote model, look for its appearance, as it will tell you whether you have a 40.0 or higher model or a 32.0 or lower model.
The difference in models affects the pairing procedure, so it's essential to get this right. If your remote has a model number 40.0 or higher, you'll need to follow a different process than if it has a 32.0 or lower model.
The model number can be found by checking the remote's appearance.
Programming Your Remote Control
Programming your remote control can be a bit of a challenge, but it's actually quite straightforward once you know the steps.
First, you'll need to identify your remote model, as the setup process differs between versions. If you have a Dish remote with a model number 40.0 or higher, you'll need to use a different pairing procedure than those with model number 32.0 or lower.
To pair your remote, press the Home button twice, or press the Menu button once if your remote doesn't have a Home button. Then, select Settings > Remote Control, and under DEVICES, select the one you want to pair with your remote.
If you're using a Series 40 and up Dish remote, you'll need to follow the specific steps outlined in the instructions, which include selecting the Pairing Wizard option and following the step-by-step instructions on your TV screen.
Alternatively, if you're using a Series 21 and down remote, you can follow the instructions on the Dish remote website, which include selecting your remote type, clicking the three-digit remote control link, and selecting your remote's name and product type.

- Press and release the Power button on your remote.
- Press the Up arrow on your remote and wait a few seconds until the device turns off.
- Press the pound button (#) to save the pairing.
