Helpful Hints

If you had to program the remote control to operate your Cable Box/DBS, whenever you replace the batteries in the remote control, you must program the remote control again.

The remote control may only operate some features of your Cable Box/DBS.

Some Cable Boxes/DBSs can only be turned on at the Cable Box/DBS.

There is no guarantee that the remote control will operate your Cable Box/DBS.
