Can't pair an RC73 remote with a Eyoyo 12" TV

I recently got a small Eyoyo TV to use in my kitchen with a Genie mini controller but when I tried to pair the RC73 remote with it, that brand was not listed.   Is there a workaround for TV brands that are not found?  I have seen some technique in the past that I thought allowed the remote to search for working remote codes and test against the volume control.   

I did contact the manufacturer but all they provided was this image of the remote codes which each button on their remote uses which I haven't been able to leverage to find a compatible TV brand (image attached).

Thanks for any help/suggestions,

Sorry, those Eyoyo TVs are a very unknown brand (frankly, I had to look up the brand since I didn’t know it at first) and are unable to be paired with the Genie remote. I suggest you invest in a Harmony remote.

Thank you for the suggestion, did you have a specific Harmony remote in mind that is compatible with Genie controllers?  I'm assuming it is a learning remote that could capture the remote codes from the Eyoyo remote control?

Logitech is no longer making the Harmony remotes(there may still be sold online) they now have a hub system that uses touchscreen devices like laptops,tablets and phones to control it.

Any Logitech Harmony remote will control the DirecTV Receivers. Not sure about that off-brand TV, though.

Is there a way to have the RC73 search for codes to operate any TV by beginning with a button combo like this?

  • Press and hold MUTE and SELECT until the green light blinks twice
  • ...

If so, what is the full set of commands to do this for the RC73?

I would suggest trying codes for brands like Dynex, Durabrand, Hisense and RCA

I was thinking about getting the same tv, did you find a directv code that worked with it?  Thanks!

Unfortunately @dmark18671 , I never found a code that worked.  I didn't try everything that Good4u suggested above.

Bummer, well thanks for getting back to me. If you ever find one that works can you please report it here? I am looking for a very small tv (13 inch or smaller) for my kitchen that I can pair with this remote.  Thanks!
