How to program a universal remote
- Turn on your Hisense TV manually.
- On the universal remote, press and hold the TV button (or Setup).
- Enter the code from the table.
- The remote LED should blink twice or stay solid — confirms.
- Test power, volume, channel buttons.
GE Universal Remotes
GE makes the most popular universal remote on the US market. Programming 4-digit:
- Turn on TV.
- Press and hold Setup until the red LED stays on.
- Press TV (the LED blinks once).
- Enter the 4-digit code (LED turns off when complete).
- Test.
If no code works, GE has an auto-search: hold Setup, press TV, then press Power repeatedly until the TV turns off, then press Setup to lock in.
RCA Universal Remotes
Press and hold the TV button until the red light stays on. Enter the code. Light turns off if accepted.
One For All Remotes
Hold Magic until LED blinks twice. Press TV. Enter 4-digit code. LED blinks twice to confirm.
Comcast / Xfinity Remotes (XR2, XR5, XR11, XR15)
For XR15: Press and hold Setup until LED changes from red to green. Enter 5-digit code. LED blinks green to confirm.
None of the codes work?
- Power-cycle the TV (unplug 30 seconds). If even the original Hisense remote doesn't work, the issue is with the TV's IR sensor.
- Universal remote's batteries might be too weak. Fresh batteries.
- Try the auto-search method.
- Some Hisense Roku TV models reject all universal remotes — they're hardware-locked to BT pairing only. The fix is a Roku-branded universal OR our phone remote app (which uses the network, not IR).
Cheaper alternative: use your phone
The phone remote app is free, pairs in 30 seconds, has a real keyboard for typing in passwords, and supports every Hisense smart TV from 2018+. If you have a smartphone and your TV is on Wi-Fi, you don't need a universal remote at all.
