My channel up/down controls mute the tv when pushed

Here's how to scan for TV codes on your DIRECTV remote

1.Make sure your TV is turned on.

2.Slide the mode switch at top of remote to "TV".

3.Press and hold the MUTE button. This is located above the number 1 button.

4.While still holding down MUTE, press and hold the SELECT button until green light at the top of the remote flashes twice.

5.Then enter 991, the green light on remote should flash twice.

5b. Press 1 again (it will flash twice again), then you press the power on button at the very top right.

6.Point remote at TV and press CHANNEL UP button. Tap the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly until the TV powers off.

*If you hit channel up very fast, you risk going past the code. Pressing channel down will back it up. I alway hit channel up very fast till the tv turns off, then back it up slowly till it comes back on.

7.When the TV powers off, press and release the SELECT button.

*Note: If the green light flashes three times before TV responds, then all codes have been cycled through. Our remote controls are guaranteed to program to your DIRECTV receiver, however your TV may not be compatible with our remote control.

your direct tv remote has an optional code search that is useful by using the channel up and channel down buttons try to program as usual and after pressing the tv button use the channel buttons until the channel changes, when it changes hold down the mute button for a couple of seconds

remotes are all different give me the brand and model number but normally here is what you do

push setup> tv or dvd, cable whatever your trying to set up i wil assume tv.
hold setup until light blinks> release setup button and push t.v > from there use the channel up and down buttons to search for code > as soon as the channel changes hold down the mute button for a couple seconds and thats it. try to power on and off your tv

Here is the code for your TV 0154 along with the advanced codes.

Turn on tv. On the remote, hold down 'Code Search' button until red light comes on remote. Press 'Chan +' button (on remote) repeatedly until the channel changes. Be patient, this could take lots of pushes. Once the channel changes on the tv, push the 'mute' button on the remote. You're set!

I assume the control panel on the tv still works correctly? If so i would think you have a remote problem. If thats the case let me know I will send you a link to instructions to repair your remote.

Setting the Remote to control power on your TV is really easy. You just hold down the TV power button and you start pushing UP on the channel button.

push the tv button then hold down the code search button till the light becomes solid. point the remote at your tv while it is turned on and push the channel up or down til the cannel changes. once it does push the mute key to save. so u know this works like that on all device and if you pass up the right on from pushing the button too fast you can just push the opposit direction rather than waiting for full circle. also be aware that there are multiple codes for some devices and some work better than others.

Press 'MUTE' to lock that code in

You have to push and hold down TV and Mute button (for 2 seconds at the same time), then release them at the same time, then push channel up until the TV turns off.  Be patient and continue channel up until the TV turns off.  When it turns off, then push TV again to lock the code.

You were doing fine, but missed to push channel up to fine the code.
