TV CableDo you scratch your head while using your new DIRECTV remote? To help you get it matched and ready to go, we've made a step-by-step guide.
A quick reboot will fix the problem if your DIRECTV remote has stopped working. Here's how to reset your remote control via DIRECTV.
1. Locate the button for reset. This is a small red button located on the side of the receiver inside the access card door, or, on some models. With no button? Proceed to step 3.
2. Press the button. Wait 15 seconds. Go to step 4
3. Remove the receiver from the wall outlet. Wait 15 sec., then plug it back in.
4. Try now.
1. Shift something that could prevent the infrared light of your remote from reaching the sensor of the recipient. Even your entertainment center's glass door will cause interference.
2. Wipe away any greasy fingerprints or nacho cheese streaks from your remote's emitter and the receiver's sensor using a microfiber or other lint-free rag.
3. Keep your receiver and remote out of direct sunlight. Try to turn down the brightness on your TV as well. Bright light will interfere with the signal given by your remote.
1. Up to four computers, including DVD/Blu-ray players, DVRs, game consoles, soundbars, and TVs, will monitor your DIRECTV universal remote control. Here's how to configure the remote for both SD and HD receivers and how to adjust the input source for your TV.
1. Hit the Menu on your DIRECTV remote.
2. Choose Parental Favs & Setup > System Setup > Remote or Remote Control > Program Remote.
3. Pick the gadget you want the remote to control (DVD/Blu-ray player, DVR, gaming console, soundbar, TV, etc.). Enter a DIRECTV remote code if your computer isn't identified.
4. Follow the prompts on your screen to complete.
Fantastic stuff! You may use the precise steps above to program an SD receiver with your DIRECTV universal remote control.
