TV brand remote control programming limit

Apparently there is a limit to the number of different tv brands one can attempt to program the remote to. Is there a way to reset this limit so that I can program back to my original tv brand? The receiver tells me to call customer service but it seems they are not aware of this feature or how to correct it.

There is a way to reset the remote to factory defaults, what is the model number that starts with RC?

resetting the remote to its default factory settings:

  1. Press and hold MUTE and SELECT together until the light flashes three times. 
  2. Press 9, 8, 1 and SELECT. The remote flashes four times and should now reset.

That I have done. I still get the message from the receiver that I have reached the number of tv one can program on the system. It seems a complete reset of the receiver may be the only way to correct this. or maybe just time, I don't know.

Never seen that, just try a red button reset on the receiver.
