Do you have to program the remote to control a tv or can I just walk into Best Buy and zap the first tv I see?

Most of the frequencies for most TV sets are already programmed. When you walk into Best Buy and push the (only) button the wonder gadget starts sequencing through all the frequencies and definitely you will see the black screen on the target TV's. It's been a wonder (in Colombia) with the world soccer games and the craze about it there are TV's EVERYWHERE - you should see the crowds' faces when I zap them!!! At fast food places they have the menus on TV's and with one click 4 or 5 turn off at same time, and you just stand there and don't even have to be close just acting like you are talking on the cellphone. Just make sure you point the transmitters LED's in the right direction, although it is so strong it even bounces off walls. FUN FUN FUN. (and I'm an old guy, big kid, hehe hee)

Just point and ZAP. It is fastest with Sony TVs. Once you press the button, the device will cycle through dozens of codes. Be patient and discreet. Have FUN!!

I have the 5 pack.... NO programming needed. You plug unit one in then plug the item (light, fan, whatever) in to it... now the top button on the remote turns that item on and off.... got them a year ago... and am very glad I did... saves entering a dark room and finding a light switch - I also used them in two rooms where I have a window ac unit and being able to pre-cool a room is awesome. Each button corresponds with one "Plug" unit.

The TV does come with a remote, but I can personally attest to the fact that their remote will drive you insane. There's a logitech that you can order, it pairs seamlessly with the TV through a USB blue tooth. The only down side to the Logitec is, you can't turn the TV ON, but you can turn it off. Good luck.

The TV codes for this remote are in the receiver, go to menu -> settings&help; -> settings -> remote control -> program remote, follow instructions for selecting brand, receiver will send code to remote and verify that it works.

You need the original remote of the set top box because what it does it takes the codes from the remote. you have to manually program the buttons from the remote into the prestigo.

Yes, your remote will still control your TV. However, the box will be controlled by remote we have to turn the dial

you must edit your channels manually using your remote control after auto-setup, it's a nice time to put a little text legend for every channel to help you identify any at zapping.

I would search on line for the unit. If not go to Best Buy with the unit and see if they have a universal remote that will talk to it. I think we run ours off of a central remote that runs everything.

You don't need a code. It's not like programming a universal remote. You make the antenna/TV/converter connections and follow the directions to scan for channels available through your antenna.

You do have to buy a stick for each (MHL capable) television. Almost no TV's over 1 year old are MHL capable, and you probably didn't get one by accident. If you are starting from scratch you can buy MHL TV's at Walmart or Best Buy. Most commands should work through TV remote, but they do offer the streaming stick with an optional remote.

No, just program the remote as they say in the instructio. And you can also see in you tube how to program the remote.

Yes you can program it to control anything. If you want to use RF you put little ir blasters (included) on all the components. However, the 890 was of such low build quality that it broke for me after a month or two when my daughter knocked it off the coffee table.

Yes, the tv has to be Roku ready and no special remote is required. Its super easy to use!

Yes, that is the solution. It is easy.To change the "Shop Mode." Use the remote control.First, set the input to "TV". Then go to "Setup" menu and select "Plug and Play". Here you can change the shop mode.

you get them through your directv box. Go to menu on new remote and program remote. Its pretty self explanatory after that. Follow the directions.

Just like everybody else on the discussion, just go out and buy yourself a quality learning remote. Personally, I have the Logitech Harmony 767 and I did the learning feature to program the remote. It is extremely simple at programming, all you have to do is plug in the remote into the USB port of ur computer, log into the logitech software, and follow the directions. I picked up my logitech remote from CL for super cheap and it controls everything... EVEN my speed controlled ceiling fans and lights!!! All the functions work PERFECTLY with the tv.
