Remote
I bought and hung a new TV outside, connected the box Uverse sent me, programmed the remote so it turns the TV on/off, rebooted the cable box. I now have a blue screen that says "Press OK to get On Demand." But I get no response when pressing OK, or any other key on the remote.

That worked, the guide comes up, the TV turns on/off with the remote but no other buttons work, I have to Navigate using the box. I'm in On Demand but can't get out of it.

They're brand new, and the TV turns on just fine. Maybe I'll reset the remote.

It's my 3rd TV, I asked AT&T to send me what I need to set a TV up wirelessly outside. They sent me a digital box and a wireless access point but no remote. I had an old S30 remote the previous homeowner left behind, I put new batteries in it and paired it with the TV using the procedure from your videos. The remote turns both the digital box and the TV on/off but no other buttons on the remote work. I know the Uverse is working because the Uverse on Demand screen is on my TV, the same screen I initially get whenever I roboot my system inside. I can't navigate with the remote, only with the OK buttons and arrows on the digital box. Do I need a new remote? I've been a Uverse customer since Uverse was introduced, 3 different houses.
