Steps to Program Xfinity Remote to LG TV
There are two easy ways to program an Xfinity remote to your LG TV. One is using the Setup button on the remote, and the other is without the Setup button. Since every Xfinity remote falls under this category, programming it to an LG TV is a piece of cake.
Let’s see the steps to program the Xfinity remote to your LG TV in detail.
Xfinity Remote With Setup Button
If you have an Xfinity Remote with a dedicated Setup button on it, then follow this method. Usually remotes that come with the Setup button are, XR2, XR5, Silver with Red OK Select button, XR11, and Silver with Gray OK Select button. If you own any of these remote models, the following steps are the ones you should follow to program the remote.
1. Power on your LG TV and your Xfinity streaming device that is connected to your LG TV.
2. Change the LG TV Input to Xfinity and open it on your TV.
3. Now, take the Xfinity Remote in hand and hold the Setup button on it until you see the LED flash Green.
Note: If you have the Silver with Red OK Select button and Silver with Gray OK Select button remote, press the TV button on the remote before the Setup button.
4. Now, enter the 4 or 5-digit pairing code using your remote’s numerical buttons. The code can be found in your remote manual or on the Xfinity manual.
