I have the same issue, My brother in law is paraplegic and is limited on the use of his hands,I bought this remote with big numbers hoping he could only use one remote for all the task he needs to do like opening his TV, modify sound level and change the channell (he is on Bell cable TV in Canada). But unfortunatly I can not get it all done with only this remote.If someone knows how to work this remote to update TV and Cable all at once I would appreciate to know.Otherwise I bought this remote stricly for nothing.

Yes, with programming. If you are still having issues, Google it! You can also check out this link...http://www.avsforum.com/products/hy-tek-tek-partner-bw0561rd-universal-remote-controlGood luck,Bishop

YES! If you have one of the new models it will work for most everything. It worked for all of my Mom

Do you have 1 single remote, now, that controls your DirectTV box and the TV? If yes- then this remote will work the same way. If you have to use separate remotes then maybe not.

No, this unit only works on existing cable services. It basically would replace the set top box that the cable company would rent you.

This remote has codes to work with hundreds of TV and component options. I have used this with Comcast for years and now even use it to control TV and DVD and my Fios (Motorola) cable box. I like the layout of this remote better than the Frontier remote. It should work for you and at this price, it's worth a try.

It should not matter what the cable/sat provider's box is...Logitech remotes work with just about every device you could imagine.

If you mean the DISH cable service no, its a standard tv remote for basica functions such as changing the channel, turning it off and on, ect. You need a different type of universal remote to operate a cable service. I also checked on the list of compatible tvs that the RM-EZ4 remote can be programmed for (it came inside the package with the remote) and there is no DISH on the menu so no I don't think it'll work for your needs. I did glance at a search and there are several popular brands for a replacement DISH remote

We use our remote with n Optimum cable box and all of those features are available within the remote. If the device is supported by the remote, the remote will be able to control the device. If a there is no button to button match, like "DVR", other free buttons can be programmed to do the job. In my case, we programmed the "List" button on the Harmon to serve the function of "DVR" on the cable box.

Yeah you have to have a cable box with a HDMI output in order to connect it to the costar it can not connect to a coax cable lineThe remote works with my Comcast cable box

That is what I was trying to do....... one at a time, but it did not work with a Comcast box............ It worked with a friend's Verizon box, though. I guess it depends on the cable box.

The silver remote with my comcast box would only work in the aux mode you could not program anything in the cable mode,the cable box I had calls for the dark gray remote not the silver remote,be careful on with one you get.

this remote can be set to operate most tv (98%) for basic contro off/on, up/down, channels, volume up/down. This will not control cable boxes, digital standalone conveter box and blue ray, dvd, VCR. Hope this helps.

you can use it in place of a cable box but you will have 2 TV sets playing the same program. this system only moves the signal it will not give you a separate control

Yes, but Cp,cast remote does not recognize TV. You can only change ChanelS with Comcasr remoter

This remote is designed to power on/off all brands of TV's, control volume, change channels. I do not believe it will work any cable boxes. So Yes it will still work your TV no mater where your cable comes from but you will need a separate remote to work your cable box.

I got the cable guy to do it for me I was lucky it was complicated. I tried to do it again on my own with another remote but no luck. Hope your luck is better than mine.

you can return to previous station but because you have to use your cable remote instead of t he one it came with you have to turn TV on on the TV itself and also adjust the volume on the TV. Comcast tried to see if a universal remote would work but apparently the TV is so new that there is no code for it.
