Solution 4: Switching between Cable and TV
We have received multiple reports from users who were unable to use the Spectrum remote control to switch to the TV control mode. Spectrum’s conduct is a little perplexing, but it’s not difficult to understand. When you touch the Volume or Channel buttons, the signal is normally sent to the cable module. Even if you push the TV button to turn to TV, this behavior occurs.
You’ll need to hit a combination of keys on the remote to switch to controlling another device. Follow the steps below to get started:
- Press and hold the CBL button at the top right of the remote and then press and hold the OK/SEL button at the middle for a few seconds and then release both.
- The CBL will be lighted and will remain thus. Now push the Volume down button once again and then select TV. When you hit the Volume down button, the CBL button will begin to blink, so there is no need to be concerned.
- When you press the channel or volume buttons, they now send a signal to the TV rather than the cable, as they did previously.
Note: If you want to go back to cable, simply hit Volume UP rather than Volume Down.
Solution 5: Resetting Spectrum Remote to Factory Defaults
You can try to factory reset your Spectrum remote to default settings if you have programmed it incorrectly to the point that you are unable to use it properly. Please keep in mind that this will reset everything, and you will have to start over using your remote. Make sure you have access to any accounts that have previously been set up.
- While still holding it, hit the OK button for 1 second and then simultaneously release both buttons. All three buttons (TV, DVD, and AUX) will flash, however the TV button will remain lit.
- You must now hold down the Delete button for three seconds. The TV button will flicker and then turn off.
- The factory settings for your TV remote will now be restored. Now you must repair it using an RF2IR converter:
- You must now re-insert the RF2IR converter into the Set-top box while holding the Find button.
- The following steps are straightforward. To pair the remote with the RF2IR converter, bring it within a few feet of the set-top box and hit any key on the remote.
- After successful pairing, pushing the Find key on the RF2IR converter will play the sound in the remote and it will function normally.
Solution 6: Contacting Spectrum Support
If none of the following options work, you can contact Spectrum support and explain the situation. Furthermore, we encountered instances where the remote would not work with one Spectrum device but would work with others. This is a relatively typical occurrence that can happen to anyone.
There were also times when the Spectrum modem’s firmware was either malfunctioning or obsolete. Because there isn’t much emphasis on Firmware in the Spectrum TV box, most people overlook this possibility. Try contacting customer service and explaining the situation. Hopefully, the problem will be rectified quickly.
Note: If you’re still having problems, you might want to try the following workarounds:
- If you’re using other devices with your Spectrum Box, clear their Wi-Fi settings.
- If you’re having trouble with the remote turning on other devices unnecessarily, such as Xbox, you can disable the feature in settings.
