Another remote issue
I have for some years used a Humax DTR-T2000 YOUVIEW+HDTV box and remote paired with a Grundig TV. I havevnow replaced the TV with a JVC LT-40C590.
I cannot pair the remote with this new TV using the codes listed on the Humax website, any suggestions?

Press sub, BT player AD buttons simultaneously till the blue light flashes 3 times.
Then start the pairing process remember when pairing to keep pressing the tv button till the telly switches off. Common mistake is people press it once and think it hasn't worked.
Good luck.
One issue is that there is a lot of badge engineering going on, so you sometimes need to use a code for one of these. See if there is a label on the TV, or something in the instruction book, to indicate the true manufacturer.
Try UMC, Cello, or Vestel codes, as these are often the underlying actual manufacturers.
The codes however are not generic they relate to the tv brand not the manufacturer.
You mentioned the remote still works with your old Bush set so I'm personally learning towards obsolescence rather then fault.

NB: Logik is Curry's brand made by JVC.
That's why I said effectively.
We have had good success in the past with users who could not pair their TV with the brand shown on the TV, but could pair with a code from the underlying manufacturer.
This casts some doubt on the universality of your ‘not generic’ assertion above.
Dare say you have but my claim was the codes relate to the brand not the manufacturer which is a fact not an assertion.
I might have been misled by the successful outcome of this suggestion of mine:-
https://community.youview.com/youview/discussion/comment/14260256/#Comment_14260256
where the subsequent postings indicate that a UMC code worked for two separate users of TVs badged Blaupunkt, where ‘Blaupunkt’ codes didn’t, and would seem to cast some reasonable doubt on your ‘a fact not an assertion’.
But perhaps there is some other explanation?
Have you by any chance got an Universal remote? This hopefully will solve your problem + maybe better made than the cheap copies being sold. The One for All do some amazing remotes & they can be found brand new on EBay. I have just purchased one for the family. Just need to program it! One of the features is that you can clone some of the buttons from original to the universal remote. It also does macro functions. Full details on website.
One For All URC7145 & URC7140 models are very popular + there are many more available for £11/13+
Hope this may have helped you. Let the forum know how you get on. John L
Try leaving a message with JVC support and seeing if that is more fruitful.
