It is possible to use your optimum remote to control both your TV and cable box so that you will not need to use the original remote. However, it requires pairing.
My goal in this post is to demonstrate three different methods for programming the optimum remote control.
In most cases, one-digit codes are sufficient for most well-known TV brands such as Vizio, Insignia, Sony, Samsung, LG, and others, but if you don’t have any luck with them, you will have to go with an auto-code search or 4-digit universal code.
Whether you use a different TV brand or a universal code is not a problem since most manufacturers provide a code library. The codes will be listed here, I’m sure.
How to program Optimum remote to TV?
The purpose of this section is to examine one-digit simple methods. If you are using Optimum Black IR (Altice One) remote control, I hope you are doing so correctly.
The tutorial will also be useful if you are using any other models, such as voice or stream controllers.
Anyway, you can find your TV brand’s one-digit code in the table below. You’re good to go if you’re using one of these TVs.
| TV Brand | Code |
| Insignia | 1 |
| LG | 2 |
| Panasonic | 3 |
| Philips/Magnavox | 4 |
| Samsung | 5 |
| Sanyo | 6 |
| Sharp | 7 |
| Sony | 8 |
| Toshiba | 9 |
| Vizio | 0 |
- Make sure your TV is on
- Keep pressing and holding the TV and SELECT buttons simultaneously until the HOME button blinks twice
- Point the remote at your TV and press the TV button
- Hold down the key corresponding to the brand of your TV
- Once your TV has turned off, release the button
- Once your remote is paired with your TV, the TV will turn on once you press the TV button again
Make sure all the power, volume, and function keys work properly.
Auto-search method
You can pair your TV with the remote control by searching for the pairing code. This method can be used if you are using a TV brand other than those mentioned above.
The auto-code search method has been used on other universal remote controls so it’s not complicated.
- Make sure your TV is on
- Hold down the TV and SELECT keys on the remote until the HOME button blinks twice
- To operate the TV, point the remote at it
- Hold down the SELECT button until your TV turns off
- You have successfully paired your remote when the TV turns on again

You will need to find out the four-digit code of your TV brand, and then follow the instructions
Press and hold down the TV and SELECT buttons on the remote until the HOME button blinks twice when the TV is on.
Enter the first 4-digit code on the list (hopefully you found it)
If the TV has turned off, the pairing was successful, otherwise try reprogramming with another code from the list.
Programming Optimum remote to Cable box
Press and hold the TV and SELECT buttons together until the HOME button blinks twice to control the volume on the cable box.
By pressing the VOLUME DOWN (Vol-) button on the remote, you can lower the volume on the cable box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Home button on the Optimum remote blink five times?
This isn’t a fault, but an indication that it’s time to change the batteries. A very low charge on the inserted batteries causes this problem. It is important to replace them as soon as possible.
What is the best way to set up parental controls?
In order to prevent your child from abusing the TV and remote control, it’s important to set up parental controls. There is a possibility that they will watch harmful channels.
There is a parental control feature available on Altice One.
- The Settings button should be pressed twice
- Press the SEL key when you are in parental control
- Once you have selected the SET PIN option, you will need to enter your secret PIN.
- You have completed the process once you re-enter
Conclusion
Ideally, you should pair each TV and cable box separately to ensure that they work properly. If you have previously paired your remote with multiple devices, you can unpair it and re-program it if you are unable to pair your remote.
Once the remote is pressed and held, it will blink for a few seconds before turning off automatically. The unpairing process has been completed.
