My TV is connected via a cable but there is no extra satellite or cable box. The TV remote changes the channels. Will this remote work?

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.

Hello, That is the same way my mother-in-law's TV is hooked up and it works great for her!Christopher

We lost the instructions, it was thrown out with the package it came in; can anyone send us insturctions on this model?

It has a button to change channels up and down, but you cannot tap in a number, you have to scroll through them.

Yes. I bought this remote for my dad who is in assisted living. A cable comes from the wall into the back of his tv via the antenna. It was easy to set up.

Yes it works perfectly with a television that is plugged into the wall directly to the cable.

It didn't work for us, then we couldn't return it. So we blew all that money for no good reason!

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.

Generally, a yes. The remote transmits via UHF, then at the TV, converts back to IR to control your TV. Works well with Satellite or other set-top boxes.

Your question is not explicit. However if the remote you are using is an infra red remote and you are trying to change channels on your dish receiver from a room that is out of the line of sight, it should work spectacularly when set up according to the instructions. I use mine with a cox cable remote and I love mine.

Yes. It works with or without a cable box. It will change the channels on the TV once you have run through the auto programming on the TV that detects all available channels.

I know my cable box sometimes takes a long time to boot and get the channel guide if I leave it off for an extended period of time. Perhaps the satellite box could be the same.I've never put a meter on mine to see how much it draws constantly though to know if shutting it off every time versus leaving it on constantly is beneficial.

Yes. Since the unit has a built in tuner you can watch all the channels your cable or satellite provides. Use your HDMI port provided on the back of the unit and connect it to the HDMI output on the back of the TV (you'll need an HDMI cable) turn on the unit and using the source button on the remote cycle through the units outputs(L1,L2,L3) until you come to the CH section. Then using the units remote select whatever number you use to normally view channels and use your cable or satellite remote to change channels. Hope this helps.

Because the satellite transmission would interfere with the moca box on your network, so your network would probably work but you wont get a signal, its only currently compatible with regular cable tv. Though I read there is a work around to make it work with satellite tv but that it was complicated for the average consumer so they market it as incompatible as of now until they come out with a work around.

I did not purchase the antenna, but the remote works for our antenna channels. This remote worked with our DirecTV satellite. It was very responsive to our 9 year old Samsung box.

Mine is set up so that when the channel is changed on the receiver it changes on both tvs; you watch same program on both tvs at all times. (There is a satellite remote in each room so that I do not have to leave a room in order to change the channel.)

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.

If you connect the output of the cable box to one of the inputs, then connect the two remote TVs to the outputs, you will be able to view the cable system on the remote TVs. BUT, you will only get one channel at a time; both TVs will see the same channel; you will have to go to the cable box to change channels (unless you have the model with the remote input and get the receiver / transmitter).

not sure. I don't have a cable box. You can find out by looking again at this product information.. This wasn't my answer to help my husbands confusion in working the remote.

I use this to control my satalite box, if the cable box uses a ir to remote control it should work if remote control is RF it probable will not work

I'm not sure, I don't use a Cable Box or Satelite Dish. My Antenna goes right to the back of my TV and into the Coax spot on the back. If your DirectTV is plugged into this spot, you'll need to remove that and use the Antenna. Then you might need to go into TV settings and tell it to not use Cable and use Antenna instead.
