Not that I'm aware of, at least not for Dish Network receiver control.

I had found a page on the web where somebody had hacked a Dish UHF remote to
send just the numbers and 'ok', and had started to do the same to one of my
UHF remotes, but then I realized that my 510 'pvr' receiver had IR receivers
as well.  I just had to set the remote code below 10 (IIRC).  Then it worked
with IR just fine.

The only time you'd 'have' to use UHF on a dish receiver is if it didn't
have IR receivers, or the 2nd tuner on a dual-tuner box - but that would be
less-than-optimal anyways as the 2nd tuner only has RF output from what I
remember.  :-(
