Will my remote work and be able to control my cable box with the door shut?-A

Yes, you will have to align the shelf that the cable box is on so you can see it thru the glass window.

ItDepends on which shelf your cable box is on. The windows are sized for 2 large components and the shelves are adjustable.

Absolutely. My cable box is in the wall behind my TV and this thing works fantastically for repeating the signal. That is of course if you cable box remote is sending it's signal over IR and not RF.

We use our remote with n Optimum cable box and all of those features are available within the remote. If the device is supported by the remote, the remote will be able to control the device. If a there is no button to button match, like "DVR", other free buttons can be programmed to do the job. In my case, we programmed the "List" button on the Harmon to serve the function of "DVR" on the cable box.

I do not know. In my case, I was desperate to get a remote receiver. I bought this on the hope that it would work with my DVR cable box. It did not. I can't fault the supplier or Amazon, as my box was not listed as one of the compatible units. As I said, I took the gamble hoping that it would work. My suggestioin would be this, if your unit is not listed, it probably will not work.

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

Yes, but you won't be able to us the IR remote, you'll have to use the RF remote. Also, the control box is attached to the power cord so you'll have to install an AC outlet behind the drywall to plug it in.

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.

I have no problems like the ones you are experiencing. If you are using your cable remote, you need to program the remote with your TV code. That allows the cable remote to change the volume and mute the volume on the TV. Othewise you need to use your TV remote to do these functions. I have FIOS and the code is 210. Call your cable company to verify and have them walk you through the process. It is easy. All my front panel controls work except up and down channels. This is because the TV is hooked into cable and the TV itself needs to stay on channel 3. I hope this answers your questions. I have no problems like the ones you are experiencing.

It should not matter what the cable/sat provider's box is...Logitech remotes work with just about every device you could imagine.

If the cable box has composite output ports(red white and yellow plug) and the TV has them that your hooking up to wirelessly then yes. However **I only did this with my DirecTV not cable box, and it worked fine except I couldn't change channels from the back room. Good luck.

Yes, by all means it will work. The remote comes equipped with the feature buttons your particular television requires, specifically the internet features its equipped with. I've had the remote for a while now and hasn't given up on me. I highly recommend it to anybody, considering the low price.

Bill B is partly correct. If you have cable straight out of the wall without a cable box/receiver, then it should work. But if you are using a cable box/receiver because you need it receive specialty programming or paid premium channels like HBO or similar, then this will not work for that situation. I sent my back specifically because of that reason. You cannot program it to adjust the volume for the TV and then change the channels on a receiver like you can other universal remotes. It's one or the other. It's a really poor design because of that.

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.

I can't answer that particular question but we had very little success programing this remote to anything but the TV. I could not get this remote to operate the blue ray player or the sound bar and some functions on the Time Warner cable box. You really do get what you pay for.

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.

just the magic one, still if you have a cable box that uses hdmi you can control the tv with the cable box remote without problems

I'm pretty sure the directions that come with the remote say it won't work with a cable box. We do have cable boxes in our house, but not on the tv that we use this remote for.
