Not knowing your new TV, I cannot supply the code. But I can tell you that sometimes the instructions in the shiny page supplied with your receiver's remote aren't precise enough. I can also tell you that the process can take 5-10 minutes at the least. You will need to be patient.
First - is that TV now operating with its own remote?
Next - find the AT&T U-verse setup code from the leaflet. If you don't have that code, you can find it online at the linked site. I warn you that some manufacturers have more than one code and sometimes no hints are provided. Write down all possible codes.
- To manually program the Device Codes for the remote. All TV codes begin with the numeral 1.
- Power on the TV
- Read all of this steps before Press and hold the mode key (those top buttons on the AT&T U-verse remote of the device. TV in this case. As you press the TV button you will also press the OK button on the remote for 1 second and then release both. What you are doing is telling the remote that it is in programming mode.
- After you released the buttons, all 4 mode buttons should flash - sometimes hard to notice when your hand is obscuring that part of the remote.
- Enter the 4 digit Device code on the numeric key pad. There should be a long flash from the TV mode key indicating it got the message.
- Point the remote at the TV and press the POWER key (the key in the center of the array of mode keys) This should power the TV off.
- BUT if that doesn't work and the TV has multiple codes, you will have to begin again. Note that if you enter an incorrect code, sometimes the buttons will flash 8 times and then the remote exits the programming format. Begin again.
- What the leaflet doesn't tell you is how long the process can really take. If you are still not sucessful, call the number above and a Tech Support person will be glad to hold your ear and walk you through the process until the remote code is accepted.
