pointed there until the TV goes where

 

 

 

 

you want - some TVs take a while to

 

 

 

 

respond. if the TV only sees one digit,

 

 

 

 

wait until that clears before you try

 

 

 

 

pushing the Xtender channel button

 

 

 

 

again.

 

 

 

 

One other thing to watch for, some TVs

 

 

 

 

need a long time in between pressing

 

 

 

 

buttons - if you press the Red button

 

 

 

 

(and have the default configuration

 

 

 

 

where red is on channel 14) and you see

 

 

 

 

the 1 on the TV but the 4 never shows up,

 

 

 

 

see the next FAQ item "When I push an

 

 

 

 

Xtender channel button on the remote it

 

 

 

 

only sends one digit".

never shows up (and you were a good

 

 

 

 

user and kept the remote pointed right at

 

 

 

 

the TV), it is likely that the remote is

 

 

 

 

sending the channel commands too

 

 

 

 

quickly. We have noticed some Insignia

 

 

 

 

TVs and a few others have this problem.

 

 

 

 

The tradeoff is that it will take longer to

 

 

 

 

change between Xtender channels, but

 

 

 

 

since the alternative is not ever getting

 

 

 

 

there, we suggest the following:

 

 

 

 

Quick - pre-explanation first...

 

 

 

 

What actually happens when you push

 

 

 

 

the Red button is the remote sends a "1"

 

 

 

 

then pauses then sends a "4" ...

 

 

 

 

Depending on the TV, a different "pause

 

 

 

 

time" is required - for now you will have

 

 

 

 

to play with it a little to get it just right (as

 

 

 

 

we get more feedback from users we will

 

 

 

 

publish a detailed pause-time list for

 

 

 

 

various TV models - so if you don't mind

 

 

 

 

let us know what works for you if you

 

 

 

 

have to adjust this in your house)...

 

 

 

 

To set the pause time,

 

 

 

 

Hold down the MENU button and the "4"

 

 

 

 

key: The power light should come on and

 

 

 

 

stay on

 

 

 

 

press one of the following and then
