Programming the remote

I've followed the directions online and nothing seems to work.  I have an RCA remote.  I press the tv button, then the tv and on/off together.  The on/off button blinks about 5 times.  I have the code list, I tried everyone for my Sylvania tv.  I also tried the ch+ then on/off like the directions online suggest.  Nothing works.  Is there another way to program this?

    The remote works to turn TV and Telus box on, I am still getting just Fuzz, so I press TV/video to set it to component one and the up and down arrows are not working.

RCA Cable Box Codes: 000,027

RCA Universal Remote Control Programming Codes Programming Your Universal Remote.

Special Notes:
RCA, GE and Proscan Brand Devices:
Many of these devices (TV's and VCR's) will not need to be programmed. In the event that programming is required, the code search method is suggested.

The remote may already be set up to operate your brand of TV, VCR, or Cable Box. It is pre-programmed with following codes:
  • TV-000
  • VCR-000
  • Cable Box-000
  • AUX is programmed with VCR code 037
For brands that require programming, there are two ways to program: Using Code Lists or Code Search. Use Code Search if the code lists are not available or if the codes from the lists do not operate a device.

Programming a Device using Code Search:

  1. Manually turn ON your device (TV, VCR, Cable Box)
  2. Press and "HOLD" CODE SEARCH
  3. Press and release the device button you want to set up (TV, VCR, Cable Box) However, if you are using AUX for a device, press and release AUX first and then the device button for the type of device to be programmed (TV, VCR, or Cable). The selected device button will flash once.
  4. Release CODE SEARCH.
  5. Press OFF/ON repeatedly until the device turns off (you may have to press up to 100 times at a rate of once per second).
  6. Once the device turns off, press and release ENTER.
  7. With the device on, press any other button. If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1-6.

Programming a device using the Code Lists:

  1. Find codes for each device and brand below.
  2. Press and "HOLD" CODE SEARCH.
  3. Press and release the TV, VCR or Cable button you want to set up. If programming AUX for a device, press and release AUX first and then the device to be programmed (TV, VCR or Cable). When the selected device button flashes proceed to the next step.
  4. Enter the three digit code from the TV, VCR or Cable Box code lists.

  5. Release CODE SEARCH.
  6. With the device on, press another button, for example CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. If the device does not respond, repeat steps 1-5 using another code number from the lists.
