Re: Tuning a New Remote Control

I wonder who that was?

Different suppliers ? Even so, the data base should be the same for all. But it obviously was not and could be my problem now.
Yes, they were different suppliers. Each manufacturer has their own database. Unfortunately it's going to be hard to repeat the trick. Those white logo remotes are long gone.

Try the remote control programming app in the Help section on your TiVo. There's a chance it will know a code for your TV.

Another possibility is that a V6 remote might have a code for it, if you can source one.

Or buy a One For All remote? (Other generic remotes are available)
