I just got a new setup and need help with how to activate DIRECTV remote to TV. The remote isn’t controlling my TV yet, even after following basic instructions. What is the correct activation process to sync it quickly?
 
  • Turn on your TV
  • Press and hold Mute + Select on the DIRECTV remote
  • Enter the on-screen or manual code for your TV brand
  • Test volume/power to confirm
Pair the remote using Mute + Select and enter the code.
 
To activate a DIRECTV remote with your TV, first turn on the TV. Then press and hold the MUTE and SELECT buttons together until the light flashes. Enter your TV brand code (from the manual or DIRECTV site). If the light flashes twice, the setup worked. Finally, test volume and power buttons if they don’t respond, try another code or use the auto-programming option.
 
To activate a DIRECTV remote to your TV, turn on the TV and slide the remote’s mode switch to “TV.” Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT buttons until the light blinks twice. Enter the TV brand code using the remote’s number pad. If correct, the light blinks again. Test volume or power. If it doesn’t work, repeat with another code or use automatic code search mode.
