VZ P265v1 RC + input button not allowing for selection

Hi there- My new P265v1 remote control is working BUT will not let me switch inputs. The input button successfully displays the input options (and allows me to toggle through each option) but the OK/Enter button does not activate the input selected... Is there something I can do to get this to work? Thanks!

If you can see it toggling, doesn't your TV automatically change it after a couple of seconds after you pick one?

Thanks for responding!

Nope. You need to activate the selection after it's made unfortunately. Any other suggestions? There is no TV button on the remote, unlike my old comcast remote. IMO, that's a fail on these new Verizon remotes.

Do you have some other code listings for that manufacturer you could try? What you describe is often a symptom of having the wrong remote code. Many manufactures will use similar codes for multiple models of their TV's (for instance, the power button may often be the same code across multiple models) but use different codes for model specific features (so the OK/Select/Enter button could be different between models).

This is confusing to some people because the instructions tell you to find a code that makes the "power button" work and then stop looking. In reality, that's just the tip of the iceburg. You need to find a code which makes then power button work and then see if the other buttons function as well (power's just the easiest "change" for an individual searching for a code to quickly recognize since the TV obviously turns on/off).

Ok... so the RC comes with two OK buttons (which is **bleep**), big middle and bottom right. Both show me the channel info when pressed. So technically the remote is working correctly, just no enter button with (tv) mode is available, as this RC does not give me an option to switch over to TV mode. Not sure there is any other option available at this point. Thanks again for your response! ANy other advice is appreciated. Also, I have a mitshibishi if that makes an difference.

I believe the issue is that both of the "OK" buttons are permanently mapped to the STB. I have the same issue. I press the "input" button and the input changes on my Samsung TV but I can not clear the TV's semi-transparent menu from the screen. When I press either of the "OK" buttons the command goes to the STB not the TV. There should be a way to set one of the two "OK" buttons to the STB and the other to the TV.

I can get the input selections to come up on the TV but the up and down buttons to make a selection do not move to allow a selection. I can't change to use the DVD or roku.
