I have a "BEST TV" arabic and persian cable box and i broke its remote, the remote does not have a public IR code , Will SR3 learn that device IR code

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe only ONE button on this remote will learn an IR code when it is given a chance to learn that single function from an existing remote. For instance, you could place the remote in front of the old remote and have it learn the "Power" button feature only.

No it won't learn the IR code, it will learn individual commands, one at a time. This requires the old remote to be operable in order to learn them.

I can't answer that particular question but we had very little success programing this remote to anything but the TV. I could not get this remote to operate the blue ray player or the sound bar and some functions on the Time Warner cable box. You really do get what you pay for.

I think that EVERY button can be "learned" just by pointing the old remote into the SR3 and pushing corresponding buttons on both. You can go to the Universal Remote web site and get the manual PDF

If you have the original remote just use the LEARN feature. I had to do it for my Telus digital TV remote it uses proprietary codes.

I can confirm what 'Tahotoy' reported - the "repeater box" as you call is what I would consider the IR receiver box - it does indeed have the Cat 5 input connector (F), the IR "eye", and a blue LED that confirms when an IR signal is being received. The latter is handy to know if you have the remote pointed in the right direction. There is no 4th connector. The power for this unit is derived via the CAT 5 wiring between this unit and the base unit, which has the supplied AC power adapter power input jack. Hope this helps. This unit is great BTW. Trouble free install and in use for 5 years.

Yes, you can change channels remotely. It has a builtin infrared repeater. The remote unit will receive the IR signal, send it to the source unit, and the source unit will then transmit the IR signal. There is an IR out plug on the source unit, and the box includes an IR emitter on a 3' cable.

Reviewed unit reccomended - show IR (infa Red Remote) pin connector - this means you attach an IR Receiver and your remote should control device.

Yes it will. You can teach it to learn any button that was on the remote that came with your TV. It's a learning remote, which means as long as you have the remote that came with whatever product, you can teach this remote to do whatever you want via IR communication from one remote directly to the Sony remote.

You need a working IR Remote to program it. The programming is simple, but the number of buttons is limited. Buttons that are missing are Mute button, and the Exit button. You can program for up to 2 devices in it.

If you have the Samsung remote just map it to the Vizio since it is a learning remote. That way you don't need to find a code.

It does not work with my Dish Network receiver, and it is IR controlled. I do not know why, but some cable and satellite receivers seem to have problems using IR repeaters.

If you have changed your DirecTV receiver to use RF communication for the remote control (instead of the default IR) then your Slingbox will _not_ be able to control your DirecTV receiver at all (therefore your receiver will need to be on _and_ on tuned to the channel you'll want to watch remotely). If your DirecTv receiver is still setup (as it was out of the box) to use IR, then the Slingbox _can_ fully control it (power on/off, change channels, etc).

This item is compatible with Any item that uses infrared (IR) to transmit remote signals. Most all remotes use IR, and I'm willing to bet your uverse receiver does as well. If you see a "window" on the top of your remote it uses IR and will work with this repeater.

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

It will work, it will take some time to set up. It is not easy, if your a novice don't spend the time or money. There are other ways. Some cable companies allow you to control your cable box over the net. I also have the belkin @tv it allows me to control the cable box and watch it also. If you need to control more ir devices than cable box the above ir box will work, just need to invest the time.

Your best bet, Is to contact Dish. You'll have to contact them anyway to get a HD card to program your box anyway. Hope this helps.

I have a ln46a850 and have dish network, it's true. It takes about 90 seconds for my IR remote to work but the UHF remote works great. Just a thought how about an aftermarket UHF remote?

It's only an IR receiver. It will not directly plug into a cable box. In order for this to be of use, you need an IR repeater block and an IR emitter placed to the front of the cable box. To find the right spot for the emitter, hold a light to the box and look for the circle on the face of the cable box. Cable co's do offer direct plug in ir receivers but they suck because they cost almost the same as a Sewell system and only do the cable box.

Honestly, this is a very simple piece of equipment it will work with any infrared box and remote. You just need to make sure to place the repeater and receiver so that they get signal through. Those who don't get it to work just aren't doing it right or they have one of a very very few boxes that won't work on the infrared frequency that this item covers.
