Can this or other remotes do timed events? (change channels or turn things off and on by a schedule)?

Don't know about other remotes, but this one doesn't. There isn't an internal clock. I use my cable box to do timed events.

No, this remote definetly can't. I am pretty sure the other remotes can't either. That is more of a set top box or satellite receiver feature.

Yes. You can set them up in scenes which are scheduled on and off times. You can do this individually or groups of lights. Very easy to program and works great.

No there isn't. It is a switch for it. Google adding a timer to it and there are guides on adding one. Or go with a satellite plus they have timers I believe.

No. You need to manually change and/or set with changes at months' end, time change or loss of power.

Yes you can. I had the same issue with my tivo remote. You can assign a function to any of the keys. It's been so long since I did mine, I don't remember how exactly, but I know it wasn't difficult. Perhaps the have an 800 support number you can call.

Yes, you do not have to use timer with this particular unit. You can program scene or not and just use device to turn on & off

There can be if you program it to. For my HTPC, I have programmed the channel up/down button as the page up/down when using the guide.

yes you sure can, you set an on time and off time, I have a problem with mine turning off though on its on probably because my internet goes on and off or the Wi-Fi, most of the time it works, you can set a schedule for the whole week,.

Yes! I would use the remote to help turn on & off as well if you want it lot more than 5 hours for the timer.

We run our system 24/7 so we have it on both. You just set the interval you want and the duration of each event.

I can do it with my DirectTV remote. It will only control volume. Can't get it to change the Speakercraft's inputs.

Yes, it can be programed to come on at sunset and off two hours later. You have full control of when it comes on and when it goes off. You can set up to seven different programs.

Yes, you can program it to go on and off several times a day if you like. I use it in larger increments twice a day; but it does allow you to program it in 15 minute increments.

I don't think it works like that, if I'm reading you right - like a timer you set to turn off. It goes by an internal clock you set ahead of time where you set the "on" time and "off" time for each event. I suppose you could set the timer right up until the moment you need it to turn on (maybe a few minutes leeway), but again, you'd have to program it to turn off also at a specific time. Hope that helps.

Yes, this is programmable, you can set up time and dates according to your needs.

Yes you can, there are 20 separate programs that the timer will run. Each program can turn ON/OFF any day of the week.

yes. example, my settings were: Mon-Thur, Off 3am-6pm. On 6pm-3am/ Fri, Off 3am-Sat 7am On 7am-7pm/ Off Sat 7pm-Sun 7am On 7am-3pm. Very programmable for each of seven days. My opinion though is the more it turns on and off, the shorter the life of the unit.
