Programming the Remotes 31
is not as good as my
Cable TV channels on
the TV connected to
the LOCAL-TV output
on Xtender
channels depending on what you want to
watch – but Xtender needs to know
which remote control you are using with
this “Local-TV” so it can switch those
signals to the TV properly – simply hold
down Menu and VOL+ then press
select/OK – Now when you press an
Xtender channel button, the Local-TV
output puts out a good quality Xtender
channel signal, and when you press
Local-TV it switches back to putting out
good quality Cable TV signals
Sometimes, when
watching BOCS
channels on the TV
connected to the
Local-TV output on
Xtender, the quality
of the video suddenly
goes bad
One of the other remotes in the home
has also been set as the “local master
remote” – and when someone pushes
the local-TV button, the Xtender stops
putting out good quality Xtender
channels to the TV connected to Xtender.
Simply go to all the other remotes in the
home and hold down Menu and VOL-
then press Select/OK -
Make sure the remote is paired with the
Xtender – you can tell this by going to
Xtender with the remote in question,
pressing an Xtender channel button and
seeing if the corresponding color light on
Xtender flashes – if not pair the remote.
Sometimes pressing
a button does not
result in anything
happening on an
Xtender channel
Look at the Xtender Channel light on the
remote – when you press the Xtender
channel button, if the light sometimes
flashes and sometimes stays on for a few
seconds, the remote is having trouble
communicating with Xtender. Try the
following:
Make sure the antenna on the Xtender is
pointed straight up.
Try moving closer to Xtender and see if
the problem goes away.
Consider buying a repeater to Xtend the
range of your remotes

I’ve tried all the codes
for my TV and none
of them work
Try a TV code scan – see the procedure
in the “programming the remote
section.”
Try a FULL code scan – use the same
procedure but omit pressing the “Local-
TV button” after entering scan mode –
this will scan through all 2000 codes in
the remote – it might take a while.
Consider purchasing a learning remote
so you can suck the codes from the
remote that originally came with your TV
into an Xtender remote.
