Hello I just received a UK remote for my tivo. Works great but the same code that worked with my original remote with my Vizio TV wont work on the UK model (Thompson) remote. Does anyone know any of the codes so I can get my Standby button working?

Thanks in advance.

You'll find the UK codes in the setup menus of a UK Tivo or here
http://www.garysargent.co.uk/tivo/bugs/tivotv.pdf
Nothing listed for Vizio - which isn't a brand I've seen in the UK.

You can cycle all available codes http://www.uk.tivo.com/AppendixB.pdf]If[/url] none of the codes listed for your TV work, you will need to do a code search.
The Remote Control has hundreds of available codes, the correct one for your
TV might be available, but not listed on the screen for your TV model. Hold
down the TiVo and MUTE buttons again, then enter code 0999. Point the
Remote Control at the TV, press CHAN/PAGE, and see if the TV sound turns
off. Continue to cycle through each code by pressing CHAN/PAGE repeatedly
but slowly enough to allow the code to turn off the TV. When the TV sound
does turn off, you have accessed the correct code. Press ENTER/JUMP to
select this code. (If the LED light goes off, you have reached the end of the
available codes.)

You may also wish to try a new Tivo glo remote control which can learn codes from another remote should it not alreay have the code in it's database.

One UK supplier is at http://www.swanstep.f2s.com/tivo//remote.htm (page down for the glo remote).
