My Uverse DVR has its closed captioning control buried deep within its menu tree - very inconvenient! Can I assign closed captioning a dedicated button on the Harmony 300?

Yes you can. The step step instructions on the computer will walk you right through it.

I don't have UVerse but what I know is that the Harmony mimics what your old remote can do. So if your old remote doesn't have a dedicated button then the Harmony won't either.

I googled it. Here's the answer. http://blog.logitech.com/2010/05/18/harmony-tips-and-tricks-creating-a-sequence-of-commands-on-a-harmony-remote/ Update: Apparently this cannot be done for the Harmony 300, Harmony 900, and Harmony 1100. :-( My apologies. :-)

You can program a series into a single button so you should be able to do this. Or if there is a button on the remote or a compatable remote you should be able to program this also.Kris

You've got me. I couldn't even get the thing to download the software to attempt to use the remote at all

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.

Not easily. I have U-Verse, and I tried with my Harmony remote. You have to use three separate programmable functions keys to enter all 22 key strokes needed to navigate to the CC option, turn it on, and exit back to the TV. It's faster to actually punch the keys than to wait for the Harmony to go through all the steps.

there aren't any instructions. if your recorded shows worked with your old remote one of the programmable buttons will grab the device. it takes awhile thru trial and error.

I have a Suddenlink DVR and I have a HDMI cable from the cable DVR box to the tv and the Optical cable from the tv to the Zvox and that's it. It was simple even for me. The remote control that Suddenlink provides had to be programmed to control the Zvox volume, TV volume and turn everything on and off at the same time(wasn't too hard with the remote instructions I found online).

As I remember, there is a toll free number in your CapTel instruction book that you call to activate. I can't recall if it is a person or a machine, but you have to give them your phone number. I think the FCC does this in case of illegal actitivity using the closed caption service. I mean, who wants to get involved if a deaf burgler uses their phone to discuss their next caper, and the poor closed caption server has to type stuff like this. LOL!! Hope this helps.

I know you've found your answer, but my code was one of the ones for RCA (10047 on my cable box/dvr remote). I plan on getting a harmony remote up and running. Does that have a dedicated code for it/work well in your hands?

James,I'm in the process to get Harmony 550. I was wondering about Dish network DVR buttons, specially "skip back" & "skip fwd". Are they working with your dish DVR? I checked a lot of universal remote controls, none of them worked. Thank You

Not that I know of. One of my problems with this series of LG TV's (I have the 42" version) is that a lot of the functions are just too much trouble, including the one you mentioned. Closed caption is a another good example. You can't set it to come on automatically when you put the TV on mute, or even have a 1 or 2-step toggle on the remote to turn closed caption off and on. Sorry I couldn't give you a positive "how-to" in answer to your question.

I'm having the same problem with mine. I use my XBOX360 as a media center extender, and some of the functions I want to access are by pressing the (X) button. Well, even though (X) is mapped to (X) in Logitech's software setup, Media Center is interpreting that button as something like a PageDown. Very annoying, because now I need to have my controller and my remote to do everything I want.

Not a dedicated one. What type of device are you wanting to control? I ask because when I'm watching DirecTV, the center circle button pod acts to take me up or down one channel at a time (or through time left and right), and the CH+- button cause me to page up and down. So while not dedicated, I get an effective pgup/dn button anyway. It's a learning remote, so presumably one could program any buttons to act as a page up key as well.

When the show is streaming, clicking on the screen brings up an menu sort of like it would on the actual DVR. There is a CC button that you click to toggle it on and off.

I pushed the "PG" button on the remote, located next to the "Subtitle" button. Hope this helps!

you have to use the code provided by URC. It will be relatively easy. Just make sure the DirecTv remote isn't in RF mode.

Just put in a password. Set yourself up as the admin, then you are the only one can sign in to the DVR to operate the rewind and play functions.

I've had this DVR for several years and have only used the remote that came with it. But I'll bet that a Harmony would work it. You could probably is any universal remote, but they might not have all of the buttons. Probably enough to do most of the Day to day stuff but might be missing some of the more specific controls

I learned the hard way that CC does not work on an HDMI connection. There is a faster way to change closed captioning on a COMCAST DCT64--: 1) TV and cable box are on. 2) Using COMCAST remote, press these buttons in order: 3) CABLE ... POWER ... MENU 4) Use arrows to select and/or change CLOSED CAPTION 5) When CLOSED CAPTION IS ENABLED, the CC options may be changed. 6) Press MENU to save changes 7) Press POWER to turn the cable box back on

Took 5 seconds to Google "program uverse remote" why is that so hard? Did you even try? First link that comes up gives you the anwser http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB407920&cv;=813#fbid=5-gWfQL6ZU9

I don't remember seeing a way to enable closed captioning. Looking at it now where I am in the course, hitting my "options" button on my Sony DVD player does not give any closed captioning options. So I think it does not have that option. Here is a link where you could email them to ask that question: https://beachbody.custhelp.com/
