program a rc73 remote for Directv
trying to set up a DIRECTV RC73 remote for an ATYME tv. Go through to set up procedure and when I get to program remote it shows that the tv is an Upstar. How do I get the mini genie to change to the right tv? which is the ATYME brand.

Does the remote work if you use the code it wants to use? Many TVs are sold under different brand names while they're the same TV codes.

The RC73 remote likely can’t control that Antyme TV. That is a third-party TV that is quite unknown. You’ll need a universal remote like a Logitech Harmony in order to operate the TV and the DIRECTV receiver at the same time.

Good point. Now that I research the brand a bit more it seems to correlate to Curtis International, which makes RCA, Sylvania, and Proscan TVs. Maybe the codes for those TVs will work.

Go to Menu, Settings, Remote, Program TV, choose any of the Brands previously mentioned, and it should give you a list of codes. Otherwise, there is a lookup tool for remote codes and the process to enter them.

I have the same issue. Had to reset remote and now during “pair remote” step it automatically says upstar tv code 1of2. It’s a Hisense TV so obviously that doesn’t work nor does code 2of2. There’s no way to enter any codes or tell it a different brand of tv. Just like OP remote worked fine for years with this tv. Everything locked up the other day and did a reset on box and remote. Remote now works fine for box but afu for tv.
