Identify your Verizon Remote Model: Verizon has several remote models (e.g., P265, P283, Fios TV Voice Remote). The exact steps and available features might vary slightly depending on your remote. Look for a model number on the back of your remote.
Locate your LG TV remote codes: These are crucial. You can often find them in your Verizon remote's manual, on the Verizon support website (a quick search for "Verizon Fios LG TV remote codes" should yield results), or sometimes on the TV itself. Keep these handy!

Step 1: Let's Get Started! (And Get Ready for Some Remote Magic!)
Alright, are you ready to take control of your entertainment setup? Grab your Verizon Fios remote and your LG TV remote, because we're about to make them best friends. This isn't just about turning your TV on and off; it's about simplifying your viewing experience. Let's dive in!
Step 2: The Easiest Path – On-Screen Programming (For Fios TV Voice Remotes)
If you have a newer Verizon Fios TV Voice Remote and a Fios TV One box, this is often the quickest and most intuitive method.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Sub-heading 2.1: Automatic Setup (The "Fingers Crossed" Method)
This is the method to try first, as many modern systems can auto-detect and configure.
Turn on your LG TV and your Fios TV One box. Ensure you're on a live TV channel.
On your Fios TV Voice Remote, press the "Menu" button.
Navigate to Settings. Use the arrow keys on your remote to move through the menu.
Select Voice control.
Choose Fios TV Voice Remote.
Select Program Voice Remote.
Now, try Automatic Setup.
Wait a moment. The system will attempt to find the correct code for your LG TV.
If successful, you'll see a "Success" message in the top right of your TV screen.
Test your remote: Try controlling the volume, power, and input on your LG TV. If it works, fantastic! You're all set. If not, proceed to the manual setup.
Sub-heading 2.2: Manual Setup (When Auto-Magic Fails)
If automatic setup didn't work, don't fret. We'll tell the remote exactly what it needs to know.
Follow steps 1-6 from Sub-heading 2.1.
Instead of "Automatic Setup," select Manual Setup.
You'll be prompted to Select your TV or Receiver Brand and Model.
Scroll through the list and select LG.
Follow the on-screen prompts. The system will typically ask you to try a series of codes and test them.
Pay close attention to your TV. When it responds (e.g., turns off, volume changes), confirm it on the screen.
Once the setup completes, you'll see a "Success" message".
Test your remote thoroughly (power, volume, input). If all functions work, you're good to go!
Step 3: The Traditional Code Entry Method (For Older Remotes or When On-Screen Fails)
This method is common for many Verizon universal remotes that aren't the "Voice Remote" type. It relies on entering specific codes.
Sub-heading 3.1: Finding Your LG TV Remote Codes
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
This is a critical first step for this method.
Check your Verizon remote manual. There's usually a list of codes in the back.
Visit the Verizon Support Website. Search for "Verizon Fios TV Remote Codes" and locate the section for LG TVs. Common LG codes for Verizon remotes include: 210, 1320 (these are just examples, always refer to your specific remote's documentation or the Verizon website for the most up-to-date and complete list).
Write down all the LG codes you find. You might need to try a few.
Sub-heading 3.2: Entering the Code (The "Button Press Symphony" Method)
Now, let's input those codes into your remote.
Turn on your LG TV and your Fios STB.
On your Verizon remote, press and hold the "OK" button and the "0" (zero) button simultaneously. Keep holding until the RED LED light on your remote blinks twice and then stays on. This indicates the remote is in programming mode.
Enter the 3-digit (or 4-digit, depending on your remote) LG TV code you found in Sub-heading 3.1. As you enter each digit, the RED LED should blink once. After the last digit, the LED should blink twice and stay on.
Point the remote at your LG TV and press the "Power" button (usually the one specifically for the TV, not the STB power).
If your LG TV turns off, congratulations! You've found the right code.
If your LG TV does not turn off, repeat steps 2-4 with the next LG code on your list.
Once the TV turns off, press the "OK" button on your Verizon remote to save the code. The RED LED should blink three times and then turn off, indicating the code has been saved.
Test all functions: Turn the TV back on, adjust the volume, change inputs, and ensure everything works as expected.
Step 4: The Code Search Method (When All Else Fails)
If you can't find a code, or the listed codes don't work, this method will have your remote cycle through codes until it finds one that works. This can be time-consuming, but it's a reliable last resort.
Turn on your LG TV and your Fios STB.
On your Verizon remote, press and hold the "OK" button and the "Play/Pause" button simultaneously. Keep holding until the RED LED light on your remote blinks twice and then stays on.
Point the remote at your LG TV.
Press the "CH +" (Channel Up) button repeatedly, about once per second. Watch your TV closely. The remote is sending a new power-off code with each press.
As soon as your LG TV turns off, STOP pressing the "CH +" button immediately. This is crucial; if you press it too many times, you might go past the correct code.
Press the "Power" button on your Verizon remote to turn the TV back on.
Test the volume and other functions. If they work, press the "OK" button to save the code. The RED LED should blink three times and turn off.
If the TV doesn't respond to volume or power after turning it back on, or if you accidentally pressed "CH +" too many times, you can press "CH -" (Channel Down) to go back one code at a time and retest. Then save with "OK."
Step 5: Troubleshooting Tips & What to Do if You're Still Stuck
Sometimes, things don't go perfectly the first time. Here are some common issues and solutions:
Ensure Line of Sight: Make sure there's nothing blocking the infrared signal between your Verizon remote and your LG TV.
Fresh Batteries: Always check that your remote has fresh batteries. Low battery power can interfere with programming.
Restart Everything: Sometimes, a simple power cycle of your TV and Fios STB can resolve minor glitches. Unplug both from the power outlet for a minute, then plug them back in.
Try All Codes: If you have a list of codes, don't give up after the first one. Try every code listed for LG.
Reset the Remote: If you're really struggling, you can sometimes reset the Verizon remote to its factory defaults. For many Verizon remotes, this involves holding "OK" and "0" until the LED blinks twice, then entering "900." Consult your remote's manual for specific reset instructions. After resetting, you'll need to start the programming process from Step 2 or 3 again.
Contact Verizon Support: If you've tried all methods and are still experiencing issues, it's time to reach out to Verizon's customer support. They can provide model-specific assistance or determine if your remote needs to be replaced.
Consider an LG Magic Remote: If you have an LG Smart TV, its own Magic Remote often has universal control capabilities and can be programmed to control your Fios box directly. This might be an alternative if the Verizon remote is proving too challenging.
