Hi, @Chamberjamie. To pair your remote to your TV, point it at your device and press the FAST FORWARD and REWIND buttons for 2-3 seconds at the same time. When they pair, you’ll receive a message that your remote is ready to use. More info here: How to program your DIRECTV remote control | DIRECTV Support John, DIRECTV Community Team
