If you have multiple DStv Decoders in your home, or even in the same room, you need to set the remotes (and the DStv Decoders) to different “modes”, so
that commands sent from one remote, won’t be picked up by the other decoder.
Recent or newer DSTv Decoder Remotes look different in style and designed. So explaining the different remote modes changes a bit as well
They come with three remote modes;
Mode 1 – represented by Red
Mode 2 – represented by Green
Mode 3 – represented by Orange
To switch between the different modes;
Press and hold the INFO and BACK buttons at the same time. The remote will change to the next mode, with the STANDBY button on dstv remote confirming the change by giving 2 blinks in the colour of the next mode.
After the above steps,
Press the DStv button
Go to “Settings”
Select System Settings
Select Remote Control
If the remote is set to mode 1, set mode 2 and 3 to Ignore
If the remote is set to mode 2, set mode 1 and 3 to Ignore
If the remote is set to mode 3, set mode 1 and 2 to Ignore
If your DStv Decoder is part of an XtraView setup, please consult with your DStv Accredited Installer for remote mode settings
