# brand:                         Echostar / DishNetwork (ExpressVu)
# model no. of remote control:   "blue-button" remote set for codeset #9
# supported devices:   Most models of Echostar IRDs: 2700, 4700, 5000 etc.
#                      Receiver must be set to a matching remote codeset,
#                      per instructions in the manual.  There are 16 choices
#                      available, to avoid interference between nearby
#                      units.  I've recorded codes #9 (here) and #6.
