Not sure what you mean by Type 13, but it sounds like you've been sent a V6 remote rather than a TiVo remote Can you take a photo of the 2 remotes side-by-side and post them onto this thread?

Hey davejnr, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

This does look like a smaller one, did you manage to get this working at all? Thanks

The larger one on the right is the older TiVo model, the newer one on the left is the V6 complete with RF option.

I'm fairly sure the V6 one isn't backward compatible with the TiVo
