Step 5: Once your console has identified your TV, the console will try to identify the model of your TV by sending it a series of commands. Follow the on-screen guidance to help your console learn how to control your TV. If the process is successful, youll see the message, OK, we know how to talk to your TV.

From the drop-down menu, select your cable or satellite TV provider.

Select your TV lineup, and then select Continue.
Enter the provider of your cable or satellite set-top box.
Follow the on-screen guidance to help your console learn how to control your set-top box.
If the process is successful, youll see the message, OK, now we know how to talk to your cable or satellite box.
