TVIP boxes are popular devices for watching IPTV content, similar to MAG boxes but with different software. One of the common issues users face with TVIP boxes is the remote control not functioning properly. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to fix a non-working TVIP remote control.
Preliminary Check: Batteries
Before diving into technical troubleshooting, check if the issue is related to the remote’s battery. Follow these steps:
- Step 1: Press any button on the remote and observe the red light indicator.
- If the red light doesn’t blink: The batteries are likely dead. Replace them and try again.
- If the red light blinks but the remote still doesn’t work: The issue is probably with the infrared (IR) signal, not the batteries.
Fixing the TVIP Remote IR Issue
If the batteries are not the problem, and the remote still doesn’t work, the issue is likely with the infrared signal. Here’s how to reset the remote:
- Step 1: Press both the “Setting” button (located on the left side of “S.INFO”) and the “Recall” button (located on the left side of “0”) simultaneously.

- Step 2: While pointing the remote at the TVIP box, press and hold the “S.INFO” button for 10 seconds.
- Step 3: After holding the button for 10 seconds, you should see a message on the screen: “IR remote code page was changed.”
Once this process is complete, your TVIP remote control should be working again.
By following these simple steps, you can restore functionality to your TVIP remote without needing to replace it. If the issue persists, there might be a deeper hardware problem, and you may need to consult customer support or consider replacing the remote.
