the TV connected to

which remote control you are using with

 

the LOCAL-TV output

this “Local-TV” so it can switch those

signals to the TV properly – simply hold

 

 

down Menu and VOL+ then press

 

 

select/OK – Now when you press an

 

 

Xtender channel button, the Local-TV

 

 

output puts out a good quality Xtender

 

 

channel signal, and when you press

 

 

Local-TV it switches back to putting out

 

 

good quality Cable TV signals

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, when

One of the other remotes in the home

Sometimes pressing

Make sure the remote is paired with the

a button does not

Xtender – you can tell this by going to

 

result in anything

Xtender with the remote in question,

 

happening on an

pressing an Xtender channel button and

 

Xtender channel

seeing if the corresponding color light on

 

 

Xtender flashes – if not pair the remote.

 

 

 

 

 

Look at the Xtender Channel light on the

 

 

remote – when you press the Xtender

 

 

channel button, if the light sometimes

 

 

flashes and sometimes stays on for a few

 

 

seconds, the remote is having trouble

 

 

communicating with Xtender. Try the

 

 

following:

 

 

Make sure the antenna on the Xtender is

 

 

pointed straight up.

 

 

Try moving closer to Xtender and see if

 

 

the problem goes away.

 

 

Consider buying a repeater to Xtend the

 

 

range of your remotes

 

 

 

 

I’ve tried all the codes

Try a TV code scan – see the procedure

 

for my TV and none

in the “programming the remote

 

of them work

section.”

 

 

Try a FULL code scan – use the same

 

 

procedure but omit pressing the “Local-

 

 

TV button” after entering scan mode –

 

 

this will scan through all 2000 codes in

 

 

the remote – it might take a while.

 

 

Consider purchasing a learning remote

 

 

so you can suck the codes from the

 

 

remote that originally came with your TV

 

 

into an Xtender remote.
