RC 73 reset issues

I have an RC 73 remote that I have to reset every time I turn the TV and receiver off and back on.  Reset procedure I'm using is to press mute and select at the same time, then 981, then code for TV.  It works when I do this; however, I have to do it again the next time I turn the TV on. New batteries.  Do I need to replace the remote?

Suggest you replace the batteries -Then when programming the TV be sure to "LOCK" Setting

When DTVhelp sends a PM/DM a text box appears at the top of this page near the bell icon when you are logged into this forum.

Unless you have the protection plan remotes are cheaper online.
