My control doesn't program to my Samsung TV.

It is either defective or isn't a Smart Remote. If it doesn't look similar to the remote depicted in Section One above, it is not a Smart Remote.

Your remote is probably defective and should be replaced with a new Samsung Smart Remote.

Question

I have two Samsung TVs in one room, and they both react to the remote...both go on/off, etc. Can this be fixed?

Question

My remote red light keeps blinking, and the TV says, "Not connected to the keyboard." I don’t use the Wi-Fi for my TV.

Smart remotes pair only to TVs that are connected to the Internet. Connect it to WiFi or Ethernet.

Question

Can a Samsung remote be paired to just one Samsung TV? My remote affects all Samsung TVs in the same vicinity. The old Pioneer DVRs could pair uniquely to one DVR to avoid confusion.

Your remote is not the same as the one that this article applies to. You are not using a Smart Remote. You are using a universal IR remote.
