Re: TiVo vs Sky+ Benefits

Helpppppppppppp, does anyone know the code for volume control etc for an LG Plasma telly 42'

Re: TiVo vs Sky+ Benefits

We'll need the model no. of the LG Arthur. It'll be easier to find the correct code mate :)

Re: TiVo vs Sky+ Benefits

According to this list (PDF) it could be any of these:

LG(GOLDSTAR) 0011 0025 0049 0050 0054 0055 0101 0107 0110 0119 0152 0165 0166 0168 0181 0182 0195 0235 0250 0303 0379 0380 0414 0421 0433 0460 0465 0611 0613 0658

Which, Carl, is why we need the model no. is it not? Random 42 inch LG isn't very helpful, agreed? Your diligence in tracking down the myriad models is commendable though. You're not bored are you? :D

Searching for a TV remote control code

Quote:

1. Press and hold down https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/24.gif and https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/25.gif at the same time until the light on the top of the remote flashes green twice.

2. Enter the code 0999 to access the TV code database – the LED will flash green twice.

3. Press channel up until a code turns off the TV – the LED will flash green each time a code is sent.

4. When the TV turns off, release channel up and press http://www.virginmedia.com/images/green_button.gif on the remote to turn the TV back on.

5. Press https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/26.gif and https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/27.gif to check that the remote is working with your TV. If they don’t, continue to search using channel up until the next code turns off the TV, and repeat steps 4 and 5.

6. When the Volume and Mute keys work, press https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/28.gif to store the code. The LED will then flash green twice.

7. If you reach the end of the code database, the light on top of the remote will give an extended red flash and exit programming mode.

No as there are no model numbers in the list to match it with. Which you would have known had you bothered to look at the PDF as I did.

Nope. Just needed a quick search with the right keywords :)

Quicker to do it with the numbers I listed rather than going 1-by-1 through the hundreds available :)

Fair enough.

Re: TiVo vs Sky+ Benefits

To anyone that can't get a particular brands code to work with their model try the listed one's for Phillips as well, seeing as they invented / manufactured a lot of modern TV technology sometimes their codes work.

Re: TiVo vs Sky+ Benefits

I was under the impression that with the Tivo box you could get everything, l tried getting local news and info, such as the old box, but found you cannot get it.

And last night trying to get the red button for the football was a no goer, what was wrong with it.
