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.

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

No, its they same cruddy and flimsy remote. You may have better luck though with a new one. I found programming the remote that came with our cable box from Cox a much better solution to using the original TV remote.

there are two remotes that are very similar to look at, but don't work on the same units, I ordered the wrong one initially. I called Sony got the correct remote. Way easier, wished I had done that first. DON'T buy from Sony, insanely expensive...

Bill B is partly correct. If you have cable straight out of the wall without a cable box/receiver, then it should work. But if you are using a cable box/receiver because you need it receive specialty programming or paid premium channels like HBO or similar, then this will not work for that situation. I sent my back specifically because of that reason. You cannot program it to adjust the volume for the TV and then change the channels on a receiver like you can other universal remotes. It's one or the other. It's a really poor design because of that.

The TV remote codes are actually built into your direct TV receivers box. This is a newer remote so it should work fine.

I believe the remote will work for any Sony TV. However, it is limited to the TV unit. I purchased the remote for a charity to which I donated the older model Sony Bravia 36-inch unit. The remote worked immediately without any additional programming. This remote is very simple to use and is more effective than the remote that includes the DVD and VHS units.

as long as your cable box has RCA pin connectors it should work. for the money this item is a good option

Hi Geraldine, Yes it should work with your Cable Box providing it has a HDMI input which most Cable Boxes these days do. I would find it very surprising if it didn't have a HDMI outlet. If for some reason it doesn't we will refund your purchase 100% with no questions asked. I hope I answered your question. Thank you.

It might work with it but, having looked at an actual remote for that model number, this remote would likely not access all of the functions on that particular tv. For roughly 7 or 8 more dollars you can get the actual replacement remote that came with that model number. Search the TV model number and add remote to the search. It is also available through Amazon for around 17.00. Enjoy!

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.

If I understand direct TV correctly what your TV sees is a cable box with channels just like if the signal came off a cable instead of a satellite. It should work fine. We have used 2 of these remotes on 3 different flat screen TVs. There are 2 things you need to know:1) The controller is simple just like it is supposed to be so it will not do extra functions.2) Programing always has worked for us but never on the 1st try. When it says "immediately" it means "instantly". It's like it takes about 4 or 5 tries to get the rhythm of the sequence and just how immediately immediately is. Don't expect an elderly person to be able to do it. Better get a 10 year old.

Hello Michelle, I do not know it this will work for you or not. I bought this remote because it's the same one that came with the TV.

I'm pretty sure it will work for the TV and the cable box as there are program codes for those, but under audio I do not see any program codes for Vizio. The cool thing about this remote is it can learn from other remotes (although I have never personally done this) so that might be an option if there is no specific code to use. The first option is also the quick set-up, so maybe you wouldn't even have to use the programing codes or the learning capability, it might just read your system.

I bought this for a DVD combo home theater from Sony. It ended up being the wrong remote. Not sure if this helps
