Not familiar with Dish remotes, or that particular TV, but had a "no can program universal remote" issue here at the house:

Installed new DirecTV HD receiver in rec room, hooked up to Sylvania LCD TV with integrated DVD player. Universal remote will not control the TV no matter what I do.

Had a DirecTV installer at the house a month or two later for another issue and asked him about it - first question he asked: Does it have a built in DVD player?

He said that their remotes (for unknown reason) will not work with any of the TVs that have built in DVD players - theory is that the TV is using some sort of hybrid remote interface in order to work with the DVD player; ends up being a very uncommon setup that the universal remotes don't like.

I haven't tried programming my Logitech Harmony remote to see if it'll work yet.....
