I don't use Direct TV. just looking for a decent remote. Can the SAT mode be programed to operate a different device such as a VCR or CD changer?

It can operate VCR's and CD changers. One of the buttons, the SAT button will not be available as cannot be edited. It can be programmed via the IR record mode to imitate all the options of a remote you have available. It is not the best choice for the money as a universal remote.

The answer is no. This remote is a DISH remote and the SAT mode cannot be edited of even add more programmed buttons. Hope this helps.

you bet. you can program just about any thing you want. the "dish" functions are on the SAT button, but the others can be programmed as desired

Worse case scenario your directv box does not support RF. The good news is the RF remotes can still be set to IR if necessary.

I don't have direct TV but I would assume that they would have to program the remote for you. I have AT&T U-verse and haven't had any problems

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.

You should be able to program your cable remote to work with it. I have programmed Comcast and DirecTV remotes to work with it. My favorite investment has been the Logitech Harmony universal remote, it can programmed to work with every device you have without having to use search codes.

It works just like the comcast remote only sans the On Demand button. You can program it in though, I just haven't done it yet.

First off good morning. Second you just need the model of what ever device you want the remote to be ex: DVD player, tv or cable box. Then it ask you questions just answer and if its comparable it should work

Mine worked out of the box for basic TV controls. It will possibly need to be programed to work with optional devices, not sure.

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.

I think a remote for a Digital Stream converter box (e. g. ATSC -> NTSC) might work. I've seen such work at my home.

Not sure about the direct tv remote. However I have the "Watchon" app downloaded on my Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and it controls multiple TVs, DVRs and AVRs in multiple rooms.

I don't know but I recently changed from Time Warner to Direct TV and this remote programmed to the direct TV box. You can check on the Tek web site or perhaps check with roku. I don't have a Roku so I never had a need to try to program the remote to a Roku

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.

I set the system up through the Direct TV sat. So for me to change channels both displays would mirror. My understanding is that would be the rule.

I like the remote because it is simple to use and program. I bought it to go with my Toshiba TV, salellite box, and combination VCR / DVD. The only problem I had was that it could not pick up the code for the VCR, but did for the DVD, however, the VCR works, so maybe the combination items only have one code.

Can I connect a free to air sat reciever directly to this item to watch tv stations?

It is programmable with the remote, yes, but with cd's only. It has a usb port that is not programmable through the unit, although whatever you hook up to it is probably programmable in its own right.
