To program your DIRECTV remote control, follow these steps:
Method 1: Program using the DIRECTV receiver
1. Turn on your TV and your DIRECTV receiver.
2. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons on the remote at the same time until the green light at the top of the remote flashes twice and then stays on.
3. Enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand. You can find the code for your TV in the DIRECTV remote manual or by searching online for “DIRECTV remote TV codes” followed by your TV brand.
4. Press “Enter”. If the code is correct, the green light will blink and turn off. If it doesn’t, repeat steps 2-4 with the next code on the list.
5. Test the remote by pressing the “Power” button to turn the TV off and the volume buttons to check if the volume works.
Method 2: Auto Search Method
If you don’t know the code, you can use the auto-search feature:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons until the green light stays on.
3. Press and release the “Power” button on the remote. The green light will blink and turn off.
4. Press and release the “Up Arrow” button repeatedly until your TV turns off. This may take several minutes as the remote will cycle through all the possible codes.
5. Press “Enter” once the TV turns off. The remote is now programmed.
Method 3: Use the DIRECTV App (if supported)
You can also use the DIRECTV app on your smartphone to control your TV and receiver. Download the app, log in to your DIRECTV account, and follow the on-screen prompts to pair it with your TV.
If you still have trouble programming the remote, check for potential issues with the remote or TV and consider replacing the batteries or resetting your receiver.
