So here's a fairly significant update from my tests for some form of TV control via my Wii U gamepad for my Ovation 32" HD TV (OVA-HKC32A5). For control, my bare minimum requirements are volume control and powering up and down my TV. In my previous post, I found a signal buried in the Wii U's Akai manufacturer to provide some minor semblance of functionality. Unfortunately, it's woefully inadequate. This time, I've gone without much success until I reached 'T'. All through that time, I was only testing using the volume + and - buttons but since the recent finds, I've decided to also test the INPUT button. So without further ado, I give you the signals I found in addition.
TAG Signal Type 1 surprised the hell out of me as at this time I had come to get used to nothing ever happening. Pressing 5 will change the sound mode on the Ovation TV. Pressing Volume - will open the TV source menu. The A button will decrease the volume while D-pad right will increase the volume. D-pad down will alter the picture mode. Pressing either the left or right stick will decrease the volume of the TV. None of the other buttons seem to have any discernible effect.
Telefunken Signal Type 21 is the next one. Again, pressing 5 will change the sound mode. Pressing on Channel down button changes the picture mode. D-pad down does this as well. The volume buttons are properly mapped, so that's a good thing. D-pad left increases the volume. INPUT button toggles the sleep mode of the TV.
Telefunken Signal Type 23 is another. The volume buttons are once again properly mapped. INPUT button opens the TV source menu. D-pad left decreases the volume and D-pad right increases the volume. The channel up and down buttons browse the source menu up and down respectively.
Last one is Telefunken Signal Type 24. INPUT button once again opens the TV source menu. Channel up button decreases the volume. D-pad right increases the volume while D-pad left decreases it. Power button is properly mapped so it's now possible to turn on the TV and fiddle around with the volume settings. This is pretty much the bare minimum of what I want my Wii U TV remote to do. Shame Nintendo had to make me go through an enormous amount of tests just to find this.

Thank you for your effort. My TV is 32" Proscan, but the Proscan options didn't work on the WiiU. My computer picks up my TV as a HKC, but there was no HKC option. So I looked up HKC and WiiU and your post came up. Save me a lot of effort. Thanks again and happy new year!
Glad my research helped you!
Cheers!
