RC82V Remote Input Button Non-Functional for Amazon Omni Fire TV

The input button on my RC82V remote will not change the inputs on my Amazon Omni Fire TV model 4K50M600A. I have tried using the standard Amazon Fire TV setup as well as the manual setup with the model number. I have also tried a different remote with the same result. I did notice that the blue light does not flash when I press the input button on both remotes leading me to think that the input button isn't programmed for that TV.

Is there a way I can program that button or some other way to switch inputs?

Thank you for the response but I believe the question was misunderstood. 

The remote is paired. The volume, mute, and on/off buttons work as expected. The only problem is the input button. 

is there a way to add programming to that button?

Thank you for letting us this information @BuddyJet.

 

In order to get the best and accurate answer for you, we would like to know the following information:

 

1. Have you tried using your DIRECTV STREAM remote control on another TV model?

 

2. What other remote control model have you tried using on your Amazon Omni Fire TV?

 

We'll be attentive to your answer to determine the next step to be followed.

I think TCL manufactures those amazon fire tv's. Or they used to. Try changing your tv in the remote settings to TCL. I know that was a fix late last year for some fire tv's.

@DIRECTVhelp question 1. I tried the remote on an Insignia fire tv with no luck on input changing. The rc82v originally programmed to the insignia input button didn’t work either   

question 2. The remotes that came with both tv change inputs fine. I have no other ones to try.

@Ludwick577 thanks, I’ll give that a try when I’m back to those tvs.

Thank you for that information @BuddyJet.

 

 

We can confirm that the features your DIRECTV STREAM remote can control on your device are: turn on/off your TV, and control its volume.

 

 

Specific features like changing the input of your Amazon Omni Fire TV, settings and others, need to be handled with its own remote control.

 

 

If further help is needed, don't hesitate to let us know. We'll be happy to help.
