To reprogram your DIRECTV remote to work with a new TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your new TV and ensure it’s set to the correct input channel for your DIRECTV receiver.
2. Find the TV remote code: You will need a code for your new TV brand. You can find these codes in the DIRECTV remote manual or use the code lookup tool on the DIRECTV website. Typically, the code will be a 4-digit number.
3. Press and hold the “TV” button: On your DIRECTV remote, locate the “TV” button near the top. Press and hold this button until the green LED light at the top of the remote stays on (about 5 seconds), then release the button.
4. Enter the code: Using the number buttons, enter the 4-digit TV code for your new TV brand. After entering the code, the green LED should blink once and then turn off.
5. Test the remote: Try pressing the “Power” button on the remote to see if it turns your TV on and off. If it does, the remote is programmed successfully. If not, repeat the process using a different code from the list for your TV brand.
6. Auto-search method (if no code works): If you can’t find a working code, you can have the remote search automatically:
– Press and hold the “TV” button until the green LED stays on, then release it.
– Press and release the “Mute” button.
– Press and release the “Enter” button.
– The remote will begin searching for the correct code. When your TV turns off, press “Enter” to save the code.
Your DIRECTV remote should now be reprogrammed to control your new TV.
