can it be programmed to work with an RCA tv that is hooked to cable but not a cable box

I connected this receiver to my Aunt's TV for her and I do believe that it can be hooked to a cable system without the box! She is 99 years old and has macular degeneration! This has been a godsend for her!!! Good luck with your purchase! Well worth the money

Yes. I bought this for my elderly father who has a really old TV. The directions come with all of the TV codes for you to input for the TV to accept the remote. My dad doesn't have a cable box, but he does live in a nursing home. He just hooks his TV to the cable jack in the wall. The remote is AWESOME. Hope this helps.

you should be able to do that. My mother's tv is straight cable,no vcr or cable box.

I was never able to get it to work. Programming seemed to be the big challenge. I followed the instructions several times, but could not get it to work. I did not specifically try an RCA TV

I am not sure. I was unable to get it to program for the cable ready TV I purchased it for

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

If your cable box has HDMI output,then it should be no problem.......otherwise you can use the component outputs on the cable box.

I'm not sure what a cable box RCA connector is but I know you can hook them up to the headphone connector on a tv.

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

Yes. Simply program a command and it will do it. Watch TV~ turn on amp, TV input HDMI1, and cable box.

Assuming you are referring to the standard coaxial or antenna connecters, no. You will need some kind of converter to distribute the signal to an rca cable. I'm fairly certain they exist.

I am not sure about cable remote, but I have a base Logitech that I have programmed to it.

Yes, as long as your cable box has the RCA out jacks for the composite video and left and right audio, as almost all of them do nowadays. This unit has the input RCA jacks for these connections.

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 there is a way to hook up an RCA video cable then it should work, otherwise it is highly unlikely.

Typically the codes used for RCA tvs (which TCL also makes some of) work for universal remotes. Try those first.

Yes it does and it provides directions for programming the STB (Set Top Box); I would guess you'd use the STB directions to program the cable box in the TV.

Each can be programmed for any function performed by another device remote (not just your TV remote). I use Option 1 for channel up/ Option 2 for channel down on my cable box. Follow the instruction manual and remember - the ends of the remotes must face each other to transfer the function code.

This remote is programmable to command channel and sound volume on a wide variety of televisions. In those two respects, it will do exactly what your TV remote does. It does not need to run a cable box.

Yes. I have an old TV with just one RCA port, so I use it to switch between TV, DVD player and Roku player. It works, but it's definitely not heavy duty. If it's just going to sit in one spot and be handled gently, it should work fine. A great value for the price.
