1) RESET THE CODE again for remote contrl
2) Try again .
3) Clean the contacts batteries very well
4) Change the batteries by alkalines
5) Retight the springs contacts with pliers
6) Resolder the wires contacts.
7) Otherwise you must open the remote for clean, from dust, or oxide. or you must go to the repair shop.

Be sure that your TV is set to channel 3 or 4 if you are using the RF cable or Video 1, etc if using the Audio/Video cable.  The Installation  Guide should appear.  The "improved" picture that you are seeing is simply the analog throughput, not the digital conversion.

SOURCE: Remote control code for an APEX digital converter

If that code is not listed in the little booklet that comes with the remote control then it's probably not capable or controlling the APEX converter. Most of the universal remotes can't accommodate digital converter boxes. The only possibility is doing a search for the code manually as instructed in the booklet. I suspect you won't find anything that will help you out except getting the original control from the Manufacturer or replacing the entire box and you will get a new remote control with it.

This is a problem I have run into before, the universal remotes people just don't have access to the digital converter codes. They are proprietary and vary from model to model and brand.

Will my tv remote work on my converter box?

If the tv remote is the original TV remote, it won't control the converter box (if this is an digital-to-analog converter). If it is another remote, then maybe. It depends on the remote and when it was programmed.

Most remotes are limited to codes for devices released at least 6 months before the remote was programmed. Thus is your TV remote was programmed in late 2006, then it may have the right code. Some universal remotes support the converter boxes; others don't. If you provide additional information on the remote, I may be able to give you more specific details for your situation.

I hope this helps.

RCA DTA800 TV Converter Box I need TV codes for the remote to work. The TVs are a GE, phillips magnabox

Good day,
I might be missing something, but you are describing a converter box that converts digital signals from an antenna to analog.
The converter box will be set to channel 3, and you should set your tv's to channel 3 as well.
Using the remotes that came with the tv's go into setup and if available as an option, you will find an option to select cable/antenna or automatic. Select automatic or antenna and save. If there is a selector switch on the back of the tv's, set to 3.

Connect antenna cable into input, and use supplied cable to connect from the output of the converter to your tv.

plug in power supply for converter box, tune tv to channel 3 then follow instructions to setup converter box including channel scan.
When done, the converter remote will control everything. However, the tv volume control will work even though the converter remote will have volume as well. The tv remote as well is needed to shut off or turn on tv. These functions can on most tv's be performed on the set as well.

No codes are required. The converter remote will work on any tv.

If you want to use both tv's then you will need a splitter on the output of the converter to send the signal to both tv's. Only one channel can be viewed at a time.

Viewing separate Chanel's requires a second converter box and a splitter connected to the antenna cable for viewing separate channels.

More options are possible, but I hope this helps you get started.
The converter box takes place of the tv's tuner and in essence disables it.

Remote came w/coverter, no codes for Panasonic TV/DVD/VCR combo

Since you say the remote turns the box on and off properly, the control is probably working correctly. If you aren't seeing anything on the screen, you may not have the TV on the right channel (if you've connected it with an RF cable to the TV's antenna input jack). If you've connected the box using its video and audio outputs, you may not have selected the TV's video input.

As far as setting up the remote to work the converter box, that isn't necessary. If the remote is truly not working the box properly, and you have tried new batteries in the remote, you may have a bad remote or converter box and should take it back to the seller.

If the problem is setting up the boxes remote to work your TV, you may be out of luck. If you need to enter a brand code and your TV isn't listed, there is usually a code search function. The problem with universal remotes in general is that often they only give you control of a TV's basic functions but not advanced menu controls. The converter box remote may not be able to do more than just turn your TV on and off and control its volume. You may need to keep the original TV remote handy if you want to do things like adjust color levels, control closed captioning, or other functions like that.

What brand is your digital converter box? Samsung

It does appear that universal remotes made before these boxes existed accept pre-existing codes.
