I plug my FiOS box into a 22″ Acer monitor using an HDMI to DVI cable. I have an old Boston Acoustic 2.1 computer speaker set that I plug in for sound. Changing the volume required standing up and walking over to the speakers. Commercials are approximately 470% louder than regular television programming, so it’s nice to control volume remotely.
These instructions are for the Philips RC 144 Remote:
1. Press and hold the STB key
2. While holding down STB, press OK
3. Release both keys, the device keys will blink twice.
4. Press 9 – 5 – 5, the STB key will blink twice
5. Press OK
Volume is now setup to change the volume on the Verizon box rather than the TV.
Visit this page if you have another remote or want to download the user manual for your Verizon FiOS remote.

I have a Insignia I-LC26Q1 26″ TV. I recently had FIOS TV installed. (motorola set top box) I cannot find a remote code to use the Verizon supplied remote? This forum seems to know the most of the half dozen I have been to. I have tried all the remote codes I have seen, including doing the search through all 300 possible.
Thanks,
Freddie
