Voice guidance loop

I am trying to connect the new cable box that was sent to my grandparents, and it just keeps asking if I would like to use voice guidance. No matter how many times I select an option, that screen just keeps popping up. I cannot do anything with their TV now except for watch DVDs.

I have the same problem. I’ve been on the phone with two different technicians spending several hours on this. I can’t get the box to stop asking about voice guidance. I’m stuck in a loop and now it won’t work.

@user_30vhv4 We would recommend following these steps to disable voice guidance:

1. tap the B key on your remote to open the Accessibility Settings screen.
2. Tap B again to reopen the On/Off menu. 
3. Press OK to turn voice guidance off.

- (You can also get here at any time just by holding down the voice control button and saying "Voice guidance.")

Just had a technician here for this exact issue. He held the remote directly on top of the box and finally it accepted the remote’s response! I was trying from about 3 feet away with no success and nobody on the help lines told me to get immediately by the box….but that’s what solved the issue! So get super super close to box and try again. Hope you have luck with this!
