Bought a Polaroid TV and remote batteries died now the remote needs reprogrammed?

Question

How do I go about doing this. When I push the power key or any other key the light flashes twice on the remote but the tv doesnt do anything

Answer 1

Did you try pressing the TV button first?  Maybe you accidentally pressed, or the remote ended up set to CAB/SAT, DVD, or AUX.

Answer 2

If the first answer didn't work, and if this is a universal remote, Google the brand and model number. manufacturers usually have the list of code you need online to re-program your remote.
