Google TV setup without CEC support question?

by Jqlj18

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me setup the tv control buttons on my Google TV remote. I had this working for a while, until I convinced them to switch from Cable to YouTube TV as I was already paying for it. The issue is without the old cable box I am now unable to get the tv to turn on or adjust volume with the remote....

My parents tv is a older LCD from RCA (LED50B45RQ) and the previous tv provider was Dish with their Hopper box. I believe the Hopper box was relaying the IR codes from the Google TV remote to then turn on the TV. Without it plugged in now I am unable to get the Google TV to preform the actions.

I have deleted the RCA tv profile and tried reconnecting it within the Google TV's settings for Remotes. However, the Volume, Power, and Input buttons will not program now. I was just curious if anyone knows any other ways to try to get this to work? Is their a manual code input way to add a tv? Or a way to make google try different codes until it works? Or am I unfortunately dead outta luck here?

If anyone has any advice it will be appreciated. I know it's a first world problem and my parents can still use their other remote to control the tv without issue. Just was hoping to make it easier for them. They love the system so much that they will keep it either way. But I know they get annoyed having to find the other remote to turn something up and down. Especially if it gets lost.

(UPDATE: SOLVED: So taking the batteries out of the remote and restarting everything fixed the issues with the codes not being accepted with the tv. Thank you)

You should just be able to re-setup the remote in the settings. I think you can do this via a manually input code or attempt to just do it by make and model. Hopefully these instructions should help.
