Will the remote work with an older Sony box TV set with Optimum cable box? Will this replace both the TV & cable remotes?

HI. I am not sure. It is suppose to replace both remotes. I returned it because even though it had listed codes for DISH it would not program. I say order it and try, because I had no problem returning it and getting credit.

Unfortunately I did not find this device to be compatable with my equipment. The best way is to call the Sony hotline and ask. I bought it and found out after the fact it would not work. Hope that helps.

Hi Helen,I'm sorry but I cannot answer if this remote works on either if those Vizio models. I don't know what model is my tv but I can say that my Vizio is an older model, maybe 6 years old and the control works just fine.

Sorry, I have no idea if it would work, try remotes.comthey can tell him which remotes will work with his tv.

It should work, all this device does is transfer the output signal from optical to analog RCA so it will not damage the cable box.

It comes with a universal remote which can be programmed to control your cable/dish set top box as well as DVD/BluRay player. there is a second remote for the "smart" features.

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.

I don't know, but I do know I was so disappointed that it would not work with my DVD player, no matter how hard I tried to program it...and I am verygood at following directions. It works great as an extra tv remote, but I would not bet on it working for your cable box. Cannot recommend.

Do you have 1 single remote, now, that controls your DirectTV box and the TV? If yes- then this remote will work the same way. If you have to use separate remotes then maybe not.

It will work with almost any TV, especially newer TV's. The issue is, it only works one device at a time. In other words, if you have a DirecTV or other service that requires the remote to work the volume on the TV and the cable box, you're out of luck. It literally only operates one device at a time. So if you're changing channels, adjusting volume, powering on & off just a TV, then you'll be OK. If you have a cable/satellite receiver, save your money. It's just a bad design because of that!

I'm not sure. I have my mothers remote programmed to her TV without a cable box. Not sure how well it works with CATV providers. Maybe try contacting Optimum Cable to see if it is compatible with their equipment or contact the company that made the cable box. Good luck.. :)

Hi- I looked in the owner's manual to see if "Optimum"is listed under Cable Boxes, it's not. If I knew who the manufacturer of their box is (may be written on the box itself), I could see if codes for that manufacturer are listed, a good indicator that it would work. Let me know and I'll look. Leigh

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

My sister has it hooked up with her cable and it works great. I have Dish network and cannot get it to operate with any of my sets. I can get it to operate the TV's but not control their box, which is of no use to me.

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

Yes. This remote will work. I got mine on e-bayfor around 20 dollars. Happy hunting....

If you can get a typical universal remote to work with your old TV the Flipper should also work. I sent my Flipper back, because I could not get it to turn on and off the TV and Dish Network box at the same time.
