You just saved the night. We just bought a new TV and couldn’t figure out how to set the remote. Yours was by far the most helpful of all the videos. You’re awesome thank you.
Thanks to you I fixed my mother in law her familyTV. She lives alone and don't even have the remote of this old TV Toshiba flat tube tv. Now she can see TV on the family. Not even the DirecTV installer could fix it because without the TV remote couldn't change the input to a video or hdmi option, which the TV didn't detect when connected the dish box. I used the DirecTV remote to change the input on the TV and done.
Wow.. The first time I hit the up channel button my tv came on. lol.. I spent 40 minutes trying to type in each individual code and none of them worked. Your method worked in 10 seconds.. Awesome!
Yeah...this worked like a champ! Why Directv makes you go though a list of codes that don't work is stupid and a waste of time! None of the ones that had listed for my tv worked, but this did. Thanks.
You are the best, I just bought a Direct TV remote and I just could not get it to work with my TV. I went on CZcams and saw your video, I followed the easy steps you showed and in seconds I was able to watched the TV. The information you gave was easy as ABC. Thank you so much for sharing your video. It was such a great help to me. Keep up the good work.
IT WORKED!!! I had my directv box powered off, & my TV powered off. It only took 34 tries and it turned on! Written, verbal, & visual instructions were perfect & easy to understand! I especially liked that you said to remove the batteries between each try. I tried watching other CZcams videos on this, but I could not get them to work for me. You're the BEST!!! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks. Solved at 0:07. This worked so well that the directional buttons on my remote controls my Firestick through my TV. Incredible and a nice pleasant surprise. Pro tip; if certain TV options are missing from the code you used, then ‘skip’ that code and keep pressing channel down until the TV turns on or off again. (Either way works)
I spent 45 min with the DirectV tech right now trying to help me set up a new remote. He couldn’t figure it out after trying so many things. He finally gave up and said he was sending me a new remote. After hanging up I went on CZcams and tried different videos. Mine worked until I tried yours!!! Boom! It works! BIG THANK YOU! Only took ONE minute your way! Lol
I want to hug and kiss you through the screen! I’ve been dealing with this problem now for months and I would get so frustrated putting in 40 different codes and none of them working. Why is this so freaking difficult? You made it simple! Thank you again!
Ut Oh I ran into a roadblock with a different TV. It’s actually the same brand (LG) but a newer model. I followed every step and it turned off and then I pressed select and then power but then the volume still does not work. What did I do wrong? Should I just keep trying?
Yep, dude is legit... Had a broken ass remote for almost a year with a nee remote collecting dust because I didn't want to have to have Direct TV come out and or sit on the phone for hours with no help... Did this in less then 5 minutes, frfr!! Thanks brother 🙏🏽
Wow--I tried the method my tv says and it would never ever work---your written istructions are spot on but I had to change the 991 code to 10812 for samsung tv and bang its working like my old remote!!!!! Thanks so so much as I have a older tv and the new method from d tv doesn't work with my set
Why haven't I done this sooner! Super helpful, even worked on my 11 year old hitachi. Thanks for the encouragement too, because I was a little disappointed when it didn't work the first time, but after getting the sequence down it worked like a charm. Huge thank you!
First of all thanks for a great simplified video. It worked for me and was easy to understand. However, I have a Vizio TV and apparently there are many codes that partially work for this brand. On the fifth "successful" attempt, a code was found that worked for all functions. (ie power off didn't work for one, mute for another etc). But thanks so much again. The hint about removing the batteries was a big help as well.
I did it!!!! It took a few trys but it finally worked! Thanks so much! Now I don't have to listen to my kids youtuber screaming because the volume was stuck on 50 for months during quarantine!!! My sanity has returned, thanks to you. I tried the 10 min video .....It didn't work. Yours did work
Right to the point! Love no nonsense videos like this. I would have added if people have problems and diagnostics but that would be a much longer video. In my case it worked
Nice job it work for my jvc 55 Roku tv. Nothing else worked for me. The only thing different was I left tv power on when I tried. then I noticed my volume working so I hit select and now I’m good. Thanks man.
Thanks Man, i bought a used directv remote like this and only paired to my samsung tv it did take me a few tries to get it paired and work on everything
It really works. Mine worked better having the TV on instead of habit off. It is and old Samsung so it takes longer to turn on, but it immediately turns off.
If it doesn't work, try it with the tv already ON. Following the instructions, the remote will turn the TV off, then you press select, then press PWR and your tv should turn on and be programmed with the Remote.
Das buttons my older TV remote were done. No longer Mute, Volume, or Channel Select, only das On/Off ist still working. I was given 2 of these older Direct TV remotes. Ja, this ist easy und everything works quite well again...Danke much. :-) Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
So my remote works for the dircet tv dvr, but my direct tv remote will not turn on/off or do volume. What do I need to do to fix it, so that it can do my basic tv funcations?
2024 and just worked perfect for me! There isn’t a slide anymore so just skip that step. Also, it turns the TV on and off but doesn’t work for the audio and mute unfortunately.
Thank you, it does work in a sense. So i followed all the steps and it turns on but it doesn't turn it off. Then i turn it off manually and it doesn't turn back on. I reprogram and it turns it on again but the cycle continues
Works better if the TV is on before you program the remote to the TV so when the TV goes off then press select then power and it'll turn your TV back on and everything should work
Omg! It actually worked! Thank you so much! I did have to try a couple of times but it worked out in the end! I did have to click the down button more slowly and it didn't work when I took too much time to go to the next step. Hope it helps some.
The select button is that big bright yellow in the center of the remote and you cannot see it? Then you said that the light would blink twice, it blinked only once.
This worked but it seems to only turn the TV off and on. I can't mute, put the volume up or down or change inputs. do I have to keep cycling through till it finds the right code?
I am attempting to switch my DIRECTV BOX to a different tv. I had it working but now it says no service.... I tried unplugging it from both ends, changing from DCMI 1 to 2, and back. Frustrated!
Thank you you video was effect I did it three times but I’d rather spend 6 mins trying than spend thirty like I did with the other videos lol thx again u rock

Thanks I tell my girlfriend I’m the best also but she doesn’t believe me. Jk
IT WORKED!!!
I had my directv box powered off, & my TV powered off. It only took 34 tries and it turned on! Written, verbal, & visual instructions were perfect & easy to understand! I especially liked that you said to remove the batteries between each try. I tried watching other CZcams videos on this, but I could not get them to work for me. You're the BEST!!! THANK YOU!!!
This took me a couple tries, but was still much faster than trying to find my own copy of the instructions! Thanks!!!
Wow ! it worked ! I think I pressed down 500 times and just before I was about to give up it went OFF ! i have a 25 year old Panasonic . Thank you !
Life saver my guy!! It worked the first time. I did mine with the tv on.
Side Note: You cant wait too long between the steps.
God, I love videos so straight forward and to the point. This man should win an award for this.
Thanks. Solved at 0:07. This worked so well that the directional buttons on my remote controls my Firestick through my TV. Incredible and a nice pleasant surprise.

Thank You so much! Oldie but Goodie. Still works in 2024
Thank you so much for making it easy enough for a grandma.
Your welcome
I like that you had printed instructions made it much easier to follow, worked great!!
Repeat til it works

Thank you so much for this. Oldie but goodie still delivering results in 2023.

Finally--a simple, informative video that worked for my old Vizio. THANKS!
Wow--I tried the method my tv says and it would never ever work---your written istructions are spot on but I had to change the 991 code to 10812 for samsung tv and bang its working like my old remote!!!!! Thanks so so much as I have a older tv and the new method from d tv doesn't work with my set

Thank you so very much. this worked on the first time I pushed the channel button down. Greatly appreciate you going straight to the point.
Thanks, your instructions were the only ones that made the remote work.
4 years later and it works for me !!!!!!! Yay
Thank you so much !!!!!!
Kool
Right to the point! Love no nonsense videos like this. I would have added if people have problems and diagnostics but that would be a much longer video. In my case it worked
Thanks bud! Has remote working but not all functions, this fixed it!
Never mind, it does work, i was pressing the on and off button when i should only be using the pwr to turn on and off afterwards, thanks again
This was the third video I watched and best explained/demonstrated. Thank you
I know I hate when people don't explain things correctly or in order
It didn't work the first few times because I think I was doing it to slow. But it did work when I did it a little faster. Thank you!!
I just mentioned this, I was waiting too long between the steps as well.
Nov 2023 and this worked with Amazon Fire Tv.. you the man..
Nice job it work for my jvc 55 Roku tv. Nothing else worked for me. The only thing different was I left tv power on when I tried. then I noticed my volume working so I hit select and now I’m good. Thanks man.
THANKS! This remote programming method was on point!
Great video, don't understand the the thumbs down haters!!!!
Simple and Works. FYI older remotes May not have Newer codes for new Chinese TV
Quickest and easiest explanation video.
thank you Sir 0:03
Thanks Man, i bought a used directv remote like this and only paired to my samsung tv it did take me a few tries to get it paired and work on everything
Best university mode program I ever seen it took me no more than two seconds in my remote was programmed
It really works. Mine worked better having the TV on instead of habit off. It is and old Samsung so it takes longer to turn on, but it immediately turns off.
If it doesn't work, try it with the tv already ON. Following the instructions, the remote will turn the TV off, then you press select, then press PWR and your tv should turn on and be programmed with the Remote.
Joey C freaking thank you
Your way with the tv on worked for me. Thanks so much Joey
Gh
Worked better for me with the tv on.
Thank you this actually made it work for me!
This really works!! Thank you so much. We need more legit people like you on this app. God bless.😁🙏🏾
Im glad i could help
Das buttons my older TV remote were done. No longer Mute, Volume, or Channel
Select, only das On/Off ist still working. I was given 2 of these older Direct TV remotes.
Ja, this ist easy und everything works quite well again...Danke much. :-)
Auf Wiedersehen aus Wiesbaden :-)
Your welcome
Thanks for sharing. I screenshot the instructions and got the code for my old magnavox on the second code.
So my remote works for the dircet tv dvr, but my direct tv remote will not turn on/off or do volume. What do I need to do to fix it, so that it can do my basic tv funcations?
Worked great. Thanks for the tutorial.
2024 and just worked perfect for me! There isn’t a slide anymore so just skip that step. Also, it turns the TV on and off but doesn’t work for the audio and mute unfortunately.
Thank you, it does work in a sense. So i followed all the steps and it turns on but it doesn't turn it off. Then i turn it off manually and it doesn't turn back on. I reprogram and it turns it on again but the cycle continues
Same, I’ll go through the programming shtick only for it to turn the tv on….. and not work for anything else. Not even to turn it back off
Actually it works now. Instead of pushing the on and off button push the pwr button and that’s how it works
Thumbs up didn't even had to watch your whole video so helpful there is some other videos but this one ROCKS thanks so much
Great instructions and video. Short, sweet and correct
you sir are a legend.. thank you for keeping it short.
At first it didn’t work and then I realized, if you have a receiver, turn that power off also. Then it worked the first time!!
Awesome!!
2024 and still going🖥
Thanks for explaining that up must keep pushing down on the channel down to get your tv to work.
Works better if the TV is on before you program the remote to the TV so when the TV goes off then press select then power and it'll turn your TV back on and everything should work
Perfect!! Thank you so much! ❤
Your video absolutely works but not for my Vizio TV. If anyone has any other possible codes, please share. Thx
THANK YOU! DIRECT TV REALLY NEEDS TO PUT THIS ON THEIR SITE!
good idea or a link that takes people here
Thanks it worked for me (June, 2021)
Omg! It actually worked! Thank you so much! I did have to try a couple of times but it worked out in the end! I did have to click the down button more slowly and it didn't work when I took too much time to go to the next step. Hope it helps some.
i tried with the tv on to start with and it worked thank you
It worked Thank You!!!!!!
You’re right! Who does have time for that?? Thanks for a great video
The select button is that big bright yellow in the center of the remote and you cannot see it? Then you said that the light would blink twice, it blinked only once.
How do you make the volume work?
This worked but it seems to only turn the TV off and on. I can't mute, put the volume up or down or change inputs. do I have to keep cycling through till it finds the right code?
Worked Perfect!!! Thank You So Much and God Bless You 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
You rock! Easy to follow instructions, and it worked!!!
I pressed channel down more then 200 times and still nothing =/
Thanks so much. Works perfectly bro.
