it most likely only needs to be re programmed and if i knew which model dvr and the manufacturer of the tv i could tell what to do
Or, pick up one of the Logitech Harmony remotes. Here's how it works... 1. Install the software that comes with the remote 2. You write down the make & model # of everything you have. 3. Launch the software you installed in step 1 and follow the wizard. It asks you for the make & model of everything, and then you setup activities like "Watch TV" or "Watch a DVD", etc. 4. Connect the remote to your computer with the USB cable that came with the remote, let the software program the remote, use the remote, be happy. We've used the Harmony remote products for years. Always work wonderfully, and it beats having 5 remotes laying around (TV, TiVo, AV Receiver, DVD and Apple TV).
id just get a new one.
