Normally your TiVo S6A Remote will be paired with your TiVo Android TV device during initial setup. The signals run on BlueTooth technology and will work through walls, around corners, etc.
If your remote can already control the Android TV device, then it is paired. If the remote is not paired with the device:
Please note: Only one remote can be paired with one Android Box at a time. If you are using a replacement remote and have the original, you need to Unpair the original, then pair it to the Android Box using the steps below:
Press and hold TiVo. While holding down TiVo, press Back. Hold both for approximately 3 seconds. The activity indicator lights up red and stays on
Press VOLUME DOWN 3 times and then press and release the OK button
The activity indicator will flash red 3 times, indicating that the remote is now reset and not paired. If this is your original remote, remove the batteries so that it does not automatically pair to the equipment again. If this is your new remote, continue below
You'll notice it still works in IR (infrared) mode, but you can't use voice commands and the remote must be in the direct sight of the IPTV box. The remote must be paired.
To pair the remote back to the IPTV box:
Place or hold your remote no more than 2 feet from the IPTV box
Your remote indicator light starts flashing amber; this means it's trying to communicate with the IPTV box
The IPTV box should automatically pair the remote. If unsuccessful, Reboot the android device using the reset button under the equipment and use the steps above if you need to.
The TiVo S6A Remote works with the TiVo Android TV device to automatically configure TV and AV devices.
To control your equipment, be sure to do the following:
Point the remote at the equipment when using it, making sure that there is a clear line of sight. Your TV should program automatically
The Activity light on the remote should blink with each keypress. If not, try replacing the batteries
You can do this with your audio device as well
Alternately, if the remote does not automatically program the TV, you can use the manual method:
TiVo Home | left arrow to Menu | Settings | Remote Settings
Select Remote Control Programming
Follow the on-screen instructions
Your TiVo S6A Remote supports voice control using Google Assistant. Press the Google Assistant button on your remote to search what’s on now, change channels, record a show, open apps, and more.

TV is Displying Input Banner when I press a button not labled "Input"
Certain TVs respond to discrete commands differently. In some cases, disabling the CEC feature helps prevent the "Input Banner" from being displayed.
You can also check the "One-Touch" button setup in the "Remotes and Accessories" menu and ensure the IR One-Touch is set to OFF.
TV (or other equipment) Does not Respond to Remote
See Configuring TV and AV devices for instructions
Be sure to have a clear line of sight from the remote to the device; signals to the TV are IR and will not work through walls, around corners, etc
If your remote can already control the Android TV device, then it is paired. If the remote is not paired with the device:
Please note: Only one remote can be paired with one Android Box at a time. If you are using a replacement remote and have the original, you need to return the original, then pair the new one to the Android Box using the steps below:
Place or hold your remote no more than 2 feet from the TiVo Stream 4K
Press and hold the BACK, and TiVo buttons together until the activity light turns red. The light will flash yellow quickly when the remote is paired
The IPTV box should automatically pair with the remote. If unsuccessful, Reboot the android device using the reset button under the equipment.The reset button can be pressed using a paper clip. If the devices are still not paired, repeat the steps above.
BlueTooth (BT) and Radio Frequency (RF) remotes do not require a direct line of sight; they can control a DVR anywhere within a radius of approximately 30 feet. A BlueTooth receiver, also known as a BT Dongle is needed for BT remotes unless the TiVo device has a built-in BT receiver (4K models).
Identifying a BT vs. RF remote:
If Last is printed in blue, the remote is a BlueTooth Remote
If Last is printed in white, the remote is an RF Remote

This article uses some
terms that might be unfamiliar. Read through this list of terms and definitions if you need
clarification:
IR mode: In infrared (IR) mode, the
remote relies on a direct line of sight to control the DVR via infrared signals. The
remote is
set in IR mode when you take it out of the box. IR mode does not require the remote to be paired
to a specific DVR. In this mode, the remote will work with ANY of our TiVos.
RF mode: In radio frequency (RF)
mode, the remote does not require a direct line of sight. Rather, the remote can control a DVR
anywhere within a radius of approximately 30 feet. To enter RF mode, you must pair the remote to
a specific DVR
Pairing mode: Supports two methods for pairing:
New Pairing mode:
The remote control that comes with
your 6 Tuner TiVo is already in New Pairing mode. This pairing mode allows you to pair the
DVR and remote control automatically by pressing any button on the remote control.
Allow Pairing mode: This pairing mode is for manually
adding a new remote control or transferring a remote control from one DVR to another. When you
put the remote control in Allow Pairing mode, it will pair with any available
6 Tuner TiVo that is accepting pairing requests within range.
Global Reset: The Global Reset function un-pairs the remote control from the paired DVR and
clears any other remote settings, such as IR codes for your TV or other A/V devices.
Remote activity indicator colors
When the remote control is in Allow Pairing mode, the activity indicator (the TiVo logo's
antennae on the TiVo button) slowly flashes. When the remote control successfully pairs with a
DVR, the activity indicator flashes quickly five times and then stops.
When you press buttons on the remote, the activity indicator flashes different colors to indicate
what kind of signal the remote is sending:
If the activity indicator flashes red, the remote is sending
IR commands to the DVR.
If the activity indicator flashes amber, the remote is paired
and is sending RF commands to the DVR.
NOTE: 6 Tuner TiVos can be paired with up to 10 remote controls.
