How to Program DirecTV Remote to Hisense TV

Have you bought a DirecTV box to stream on your Hisense TV? Then, you can gain access to both devices using the DirecTV remote control. Because it is possible to program a DirecTV remote with Hisense TV and many other TV brands and access them. The programming method with Hisense TV varies between each DirecTV remote model, and I explained all of them individually in this guide.

Program DirecTV Remote to Hisense TV Manually

You should use codes to manually pair the DirecTV remote of the RC70, RC73, RC60, and RCX series with your Hisense TV. The Automatic Code Search function allows for the complete pairing to be done easily. Suppose the remote is quite old, and you can use the Manual Code Entry method.

Note: Turn off your DirecTV box while pairing its remote to your Hisense TV using the upcoming methods.

Automatic Code Search:

1. Press the Power button and turn on your Hisense TV.

2. Now, pick up your DirecTV remote control and hold the MUTE & SELECT buttons for about 5 seconds. A green light will blink on the remote’s LED now.

3. Once you see the flashing green light, press the keys 9, 9, and 1. Upon clicking on the right code combination, the LED will flash green twice again.

4. Now, keep pressing the Channel Up (+) button on the remote. When the TV suddenly turns off, press the Select button. This means the remote control has picked up the right code for your Hisense TV, and you’ve locked it.

5. Now, press the Power button and try to boot up the Hisense TV. If it turns out successful, the pairing is done, and you can start using your DirecTV remote to control the Hisense TV.

Enter Code Manually:

1. Press the Mute & Select button on the remote.

2. Enter the 5-digit remote code to pair with Hisense TV using the numerical keys on the remote. Click here to make the DirecTV remote TV codes lookup. It will be mostly 10748 or 11314.

3. Try either of the codes until you see the blinking of the green light twice. Then, you can press the PWR key on the remote, pointing at your Hisense TV to turn it off to confirm the pairing.

Pair DirecTV Remote to Hisense TV Using On-screen Programming

The following programming method is advanced and suits the DirecTV Genie remotes.

2. Then, choose the Settings option and select Program Your Remote.

3. Select TV as your device and choose the Hisense brand.

4. Now, some tests will begin on the TV, and you’ll be prompted to point the remote towards the TV.

5. The TV will notify you that the volume is going to increase volume, mute it & unmute it again, and ask you whether it happened one by one.

6. Select Yes if the actions were performed, and finally, the pairing will be successful. As a confirmation, the TV will display “Thank you! This remote now controls the Hisense TV power, volume and input.”

DirecTV Remote Not Working With Hisense TV – Solutions

• If you can’t program the DirecTV remote with your Hisense TV, then you could have entered the wrong programming code. So, try another code and enter it carefully without errors. Change to the automatic code search method if entering codes hasn’t worked out for so long. This also applies to the vice-versa scenario.
• Restart your Hisense TV once to clear up temporary bugs troubling your pairing. Make sure no objects are obstructing the signal path between the TV and the remote.
• If there is no response from the remote after pairing, check if its batteries are fresh. Also, ensure there is no damage to the LED and other parts of your DirecTV remote or the Hisense TV’s backlight.
• Suppose the DirecTV remote functions on & off with your Hisense TV, or some of its features are not working, reset and reprogram it. For normal RC70 & RC60 series remotes, you can just remove and reinsert batteries to reset. To reset a Genie model remote, hold the MUTE & SELECT buttons → press the 9, 8 & 1 keys → SELECT button again → wait for 4-time flashes on the remote.
• If there are serious problems with your DirecTV remote, you can make use of the virtual remote on the DirecTV mobile app as an alternative to control your Hisense TV.
