How To Program Tivo Remote To TV? (Pictorial Tutorial)
It’s a very easy setup process. We’ll use the on-screen instructions to get the remote paired to the TV. Here is how the Tivo remote control differs from other universal remotes in the era. Because most of the third-party remotes use Direct code entry or app usage to set up. I think only a few remotes like the DirecTV remote also support the on-screen pairing procedure, which means the remote can be connected to any TV, and walk you through a series of on-screen instructions Via settings to complete the programming.
The remote also allows you to program any particular feature on your TV. If you just want to use the remote to control the volume of your TV, you can do the setup to control the TV volume only. This is a great and fruitful feature that I cannot see in many other remotes available on the market.
Let’s see how to program. Follow the steps
First of all, Turn on your TV.
Press the “Setup” button on the remote so the remote control setup page will be visible on the TV screen
Navigate to the “Set TV Volume, Power, and Mute” options from the list using the navigation keys.
When you select the option, there will visible a list of TV brands (Brand Names) that you can program the remote control. Among them, select the brand of your TV set.
After selecting the TV brands from the list, enter the remote control code, and then follow the instructions shown on the TV screen. The code appropriate for your TV will be listed in the instruction box. Only you have to enter the code when proceeding with the steps. After completing the setup instructions, test the remote by pressing the “Power” button on the remote control. When your TV has turned off, you can simply confirm that the remote has been successfully paired.
If the entered code is not worked, you can re-start the steps and can enter another code from the list. The listed code will work. But in any case non of the codes worked, Just try with the code 0999.
Then the 0999 code doesn’t work, you have one option to get the correct code. you can search for the pre-programmed code so that the remote itself will search and set the correct code for your TV.
When you have completed the programming setup and succeeded. You can then use the Tivo remote to control your TV power function, Volume, and mute functions.
Program TV input on Tivo remote control
n the same way, you can set up the TV input features on the remote control. To do this, select the “Set TV Input” option from the Tivo remote control setup page and follow the same procedures described above.
Can Tivo remote support all the TV brands?
Yes, this remote control can support almost all the major brands in the market. The supported list will be available when you start programming. But not all the TV brands in the world. If you are using the best and topmost TV brands ruling the market such as LG, Samsung, Sony, Vizio, etc, all that can work with the remote control. Hence there is no issue with saying this is a universal remote control. After successfully pairing the remote, you can use it with the TV like the original remotes.
Where can I find device codes?
The device codes or remote codes for your TV can be found during the step of programming the remote. When you follow the step-by-step procedures to pair the remote to your TV, the supported code will be visible as listed. In the next step, you can enter one code from them to proceed with the further actions and complete the pairing.
