Programming Slimline2 for New Sony TV
Just got a new Sony XR65A95L TV and can't get my Slimline2 remote to control both.
Did a factory reset on the remote
Following the step-by-step guide:
1. Pressed Options button till 2 green blinks
2. Entered code 1466 and got 2 red blinks
3. Pressed (and held) TV button for several seconds
Red power light on TV blinked but TV did not turn off
4. Now Optik button turns STP off and on but not TV
5. Slimline2 does, however, control volume
Problem solved. Telus Technical Support were able to give me the latest code (1465) for my new TV and all the desired functions now work with my Optik remote.

One small glitch discovered after posting the solution above. With my previous TV (an LG), The Optik button on my Slimline2 remote would power on both the TV and the STB. The image on the screen was the Telus green with a prompt tp press OK for Telus/Optik programming. The appeal of this was that, for the most part, I only had to use (and find) one remote. Now, with the new Sony, the Optik button has been set to turn on both TV and the STB but the screen displayed depends on what was last used. In other words, there's no guarantee I'll get the Telus Home screen.
Any ideas on how to default to the Telus Home screen when powering on?- FuzzyLogic

This would be a setting on your TV if available.

Most manufacturers have mulitple codes for their devices depending on model and year. Telus has a list of codes and you likely need to try an different code:

Thanks. I tried all 11 codes in the list for Sony. They all blinked yellow (for amplifier).
Also tried code 0029.
Two red blinks after entering code.
Another single red blink after about 10 seconds or so but nothing more after that.
Tried pressing and holding TV power button after that which caused a yellow light to stay on but still no control of TV.
