My Remote will not work in RF Mode
Certain materials or other devices using RF signal can interfere with the RF signal from your remote. Ensure that you are more than 18 inches away from any router or Wi-Fi access point when using the remote in RF mode.
If you are unable to use RF mode, you can switch your remote to IR mode. See below for instructions.
Switch to IR- Hold down TiVo + Red C buttons until the activity indicator LED flashes red 3 times.
Switch to RF- Hold down the TiVo + Green D buttons until the activity indicator LED flashes amber 3 times. This procedure has no effect in New Pairing Mode or when the remote is unpaired.
Replace your batteries and try IR mode or RF again.
The Amber light on my remote flashes for several seconds whenever I press a button
The new or replacement remote will not yet be paired to your TiVo device. It will automatically revert to IR mode. The amber light will flash for 30 seconds after every button press but the remote functionality stays the same. If there are other DVRs within range, it may cause unwanted RF remote pairings. A good work around here is to power down other DVRs within IR range. To make the flashing yellow light stop, and then pair the remote to your DVR for RF functionality:
Press TiVo + Red C until the activity light flashes red.
Now press any button and confirm that the activity light flashes red with each button press (it should no longer flash amber).
Press the Live TV button.
Press Clear, Enter, Clear, 221, Clear. This will send a signal to clear any RF pairings on the DVR which puts it on New Pairing Mode. Be guided that if there are other TiVo DVR in range, you have to power them off in order to avoid inadvertent remote unpairing.
Hold down TiVo + Back on the remote until the activity light flashes amber (the remote is now ready to pair with the DVR).
Now press any button on the remote and confirm that the activity light flashes amber with each button press.
Power cycle the DVR.
Make sure that you have fully-charged batteries.
Perform Global Reset.
Hold down the TiVo + TV Power buttons until the activity indicator flashes red.
Press Thumbs Down three times, then press Enter. The activity indicator will flash red three times if the Global Reset is successful.
Hold down TiVo + Back on the remote until the activity light flashes amber (the remote is now ready to pair with the DVR).
Your remote is now paired on RF mode.
Performing the Global Reset unpairs the remote from any paired television or any other A/V devices. If the pairing is unsuccessful, the remote will return to its original state (unpaired). Please visit this page to reprogram your remote control for Power, Volume and Mute on your TV or AV receiver.
