Does anyone know how to get the remote control to be programed to my Alba TV , so that it switches the set on? no instructions in the manual in how to do it. Perhaps this is not possible

Impossible to answer this question as you have left out the most vital piece of information. What Freesat receiver are you using?

Yes it looks like it, only why is there a key which says: TVAV but no instructions in how to use it?
That's the original remote (The TV/AV button has no function).
It doesn't do anything. The button has a function on the newer Humax remotes though.
Note the TV button in the same place

The latter type can be used to control a TV volume in a similar way to a sky remote.
Because it can output ir codes a TV can understand.
The version of the remote with the TV button first appeared with HB1000S boxes.
The Humax support website gives codes for those that can control other kit. Some use 3 digit codes and others 4 digit codes.
Some of the other remotes can control 4 different items. They will also work with a HDR-1000S.
See the row of white buttons at the top

What I'm unaware of is how to programme the remote so that it can control a tv's volume while still in Freesat mode. Obviously if you programme it to work with a tv it will control the tv volume, but afaik that's only if you've pressed the 'tv' button on the remote.
Misunderstood your how so. Can I suggest you ask on MyHumax. I think Repassac has a HB1000S with the two device remote. I only have the original HDR1000S type which is a multicode single device remote. It can be set to 6 different modes so you can use different Humax boxes in the same room.
In STB mode it turns the box's own volume up or down and in TV mode obviously it's the tv.
Why do you want to control both at the same time ? Normally you would turn up the box line level volume output to max and then control the amplifier that is driving the speakers (TV or AV amp). That's how the other ones work.
But you said it could be programmed to control the tv's volume like a Sky remote does, (ie: controls the box functions, but uses the volume setting from the tv) which, if possible, would be handy to know.
You mean you don't want to have any control of the boxes own volume. Without this how would you change the basic box output level ? The default is 50% which is much lower than you get from a standard non variable line level output. The most common query about Humax box audio out is that the SD channel volume is so much lower than the HD channels (which you normally can't control with the box volume control anyway).
It would make the box very difficult to use with a AV receiver.
I use the box's own volume to turn the volume up and down as my old stereo amp doesn't have a remote control.
However some people who use their tv's internal speakers would find the ability to control the tv volume with the Humax remote useful. But as I said, I don't think it's even possible in the way you described.
Getting lost here. You just said you can control the TV volume with the remote albeit you have to push a button to tell the box what to control. If you want the remote to have so called volume punch through it can't do that without the extra button press.
If I push the white amp button on the remotes that have it I can control my AV receiver, restoring control of the pvr requires the white pvr button to be pushed. That's how most universal remote controls work unless you invest in a harmony remote.
There is no so called volume punch through that I can tell, which is why I asked 'how so' previously when you stated it was possible.
I said no such thing. I mentioned a Sky box (there was no mention of volume punch through). You don't need a button to switch devices on a Sky box remote as the box itself does not have a variable volume output. To be any use at all the remote has to control a TV or Amplifier it's connected to. If you had a Sky box the only way to use your non remote controlled amplifier would be manually.
