Yes, it will program to your second Samsung TV. Since it’s a brand-new remote, you just need to pair it to the receiver first.


- Point the new remote at your DIRECTV box, then press and hold the MUTE and ENTER buttons together until the green light blinks twice.


- Once the screen says "Applying IR/RF Setup", press MENU on the remote.


- Go to Settings > Remote Control > Program Remote, and select your Samsung TV from the list.
