Remote changes to TV mode automatically

Remote, S10-S3, changes to TV mode automatically when I'm in the guide and I cannot use the numbers on the remote to go directly to a channel. It's really annoying to hit the up button 100 times to get to a channel I want to see, what can I do to keep it from switching automatically to TV mode when I hit the channel up or down and the numbers on the remote, thank you.

That certainly is odd behavior. Yours is unique - first report I have seen.

The default is to have the channel control be the TV in TV mode, so you can watch over the air.

Hard to believe pressing menu would cause a change to TV mode.

 

As a work around you can change the channel control to ALWAYS att - att/ok-966-ATT-ENTER.

 

Call lin to say your remote is defective. You will get an S-20 replacement where ther eis only att mode.

Thank you, I tried the fix you asked me too and it didnt work.  I need a replacement remote.  The remote I have in my bedroom is a S20 and works perfectly so that may be the fix.

The buttons on the remotes wear out fast. I found some second hand Uverse remotes in good condition at the local Goodwill for like $1 each. Bought a bunch of them, when one wears out, I just throw it away and move to the next one.
