TiVo Problem Wizard

You are having problems getting your TiVo remote to control your TV or audio system (standby, volume, and mute buttons).

Actions

Navigate from TiVo Central to "Message & Setup", then "Recorder & Phone Setup", then "Remote Control Setup". Select the system you wish to configure and the brand. Follow the instructions on screen for programming your remote. Try each of the possible codes that are listed.

An updated list of codes is available. Try any of the codes listed in these PDF documents to see if they work: TV Codes or Audio codes (pages will open in a new window).
Try adding 1000 to both the codes listed on TiVo's on-screen instructions, and those listed in the PDF documents referenced above. So for example, if 0195 is a recommended code, try 1195.
Enter code 0999 to make the remote scan through all available codes. Point the remote at the device you are trying to control, and keep pressing the channel/page up button on the remote. Each press tries a new code. If one works, press the Enter key on the remote to assign the code. For more details see Appendix B of your TiVo user guide. Ironically, many people report some Thomson TV's can not be controlled.

Did this solve your problem?
No - none of the codes work.
Yes - this has solved my problem.
