New remote control can't program my TV

So I bought 2 new remote controls and I can't get them to control my TV power.

 

The codes I used previously with my old remotes don't work.  That seems strange to me.  Maybe remotes are different????

 

Anyway, I have a Vizio VP322 and a Sharp 25KM100.  Can anyone help me?

 

I just want to be able to power on and off.

You can program the remote from your TV:  Menu --> Help --> System Set-up --> Program your U-verse Remote

These are u-verse remotes? If they were not u-verse, the complaint would be about controlling the STB. If not u-verse, all codes are different - contact the mfgr.

 

There seem to be two u-verse code sets - one for gray and one for black.

 

There is on-line help under support and TV help under the menu - far right>> then system setup.

 

I think someone suggested channel 411.

 

If you really only want on/off there are key fobs designed to do that with no programing. I thought I had a website, but do not see it now. If you would be intersested I will search further.

Yes....I bought new black ones.   I wonder why they would give a different set of codes.   It only makes it frustrating for the users.  I looked at the 411 video, but it only tells me how to do what I have already done.  Doesn't help with the new codes.

 

I can control everything except powering the tc on and off.  I think that is all that I need.  You said there are "key fobs"

I don't know what that means.  More info please.

Glad you got working. Although, you probably do not need it now here is more info. When I looked for the "key fob"

I thought of the flipperremote.com. I believe this works with U-verse, too.

 

Then I thought of really inexpensive remotes. Here is amazon,com listed low to high -

A couple rows down is a "key fob"

You paid for new remotes?  Where did you get them from?
