How do I set my new TiVo remote to control the TV?

The engineer tried in a rush but gave up and I didn't worry about it thinking that I would take my time and go through the settings later like on the S1. I now see that there doesn't seem to be a screen that shows you how to do it and I am now at a loss :confused:

Apologies if this has been discussed but with all the new chatter here I am having trouble keeping up. I did search first but only came up with US answers (http://support.tivo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/294/kw/remote)

This is a nice guide for all Virgin users - not just TiVo. Search google for "virgin media remote codes" and it's the first item :)

Two very nice replies for RTFM :D Thank you very much :)

I love the long press on power to turn the TV on and off, much better than S1 :up:

and the new remote can be programmed for separate codes for volume and power control, so I can have it power on and off my TV but volume control the amp instead of the TV, which is handy :)

Yes, I really like this too.

Indeed. Almost makes my new Harmony remote redundant. I said almost :p Still can't find the right code-set for it though :( (The Harmony remote, not the Tivo remote!)
