Programming Tivo remore control

roxeth
On our wavelength

I have a replacement remote control for my Tivo box.  Following the instructions I get to "Press and hold down <Control> and <TV> together" and the green light does flash twice.  Nothing further happens and entering <0999> takes me to Channel 999.  I was able to programme the previous remote control so it should be possible to programme the replacement remote control.  I have not changed my TV.

What should I do now please?

That worked OK. I can now control the TV sound with my VM remote.  Many thanks.

Hi roxeth 

Have you tried resetting the remote?

To reset your remote to its original settings:

  1. Press and hold down Clear and TV on the remote at the same time until the light on the top of the remote flashes green twice.
  2. Press Thumb's Down three times, then press OK  The LED will flash green four times and exit programming mode.

Then either follow the instructions you used previously, or try the instructions on the following page

<Press and hold down Clear and TV on the remote at the same time until the light on the top of the remote flashes green twice.>  That works OK.

<Press Thumb's Down three times, then press OK The LED will flash green four times and exit programming mode> Nothing on screen on pressing thumbs down.  Flashes green only two times and then locks up so I cannot get any further.  This also happens with the old box!  What to do now please?

Hi again @roxeth 

Sorry to see that didn't work.  Did you also try following the instructions on the link I posted in my last message?

I've now enclosed a screenshot from page 3 of that link which,  fingers crossed might work.
