Remote won't control new TV

[pksmalley]

I've tried all the codes and think I have followed all the directions, but my TiVo remote will not control the Sony KE 42-TS2 TV. Any ideas? Thanks.

Assuming you are selecting the codes properly and none of them work you can search through all of the codes in the remote until you find one that works.

To do this you press the Tivo and power buttons together until the red light stays on then enter code 0999, you then press the channel up button every couple of seconds until the TV turns off. Once the TV turns off press the enter button to select the code.

If this tedious and boring process doesn't work your best bet would be to buy a learning remote. You can get a Tivo glo remote for about $40 at Amazon and it has a learning feature for TV power and volume.

Tried your method for a good long while, but before I'd worked my way through all thousand possibilities, it occurred to me to go back to the selected codes offered in TiVo set-up and press "enter" after each code attempt. This worked on the 5th code, and now I'm all set up. The instructions from TiVo did not mention this detail. Thanks again for your help, and I hope this note helps others.
