New remote (not 4K box), won’t begin tv/avr process

[ReenaP90]

Hi,

I received a new box in the post and after setting it up, I can’t seem to pair the remote to the tv to allow the volume to be controlled. My old TalkTalk remote did this fine, as does my FireStick remote.

I have followed the website instructions here: https://help-centre.talktalk.co.uk/TV/Find_info_or_guidance_about_my_TV/TalkTalk_Remote_Control_Guid... to go to the TV/AVR Controls settings but I can’t seem to do anything once the page opens apart from click back. I can’t click begin or anything else, so I can’t seem to pair the remote. 

Please help, I really don’t want to have to be using two remotes, and if this doesn’t pair, I’ll go back to exclusively using the FireStick instead. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 Two things to try.

1 try resetting your remote and re-pair with your box, then try again.

2 If that doesn't work, try resetting the box by doing a factory reset which should clear any bugs in the setup.

Hope this cures your issue.
