Please note that our devices are only compatible with Infrared (IR) remotes. If your device is not programming, it may be a Radio Frequency (RF) or RF/IR hybrid. If this is the case, you may need to contact your cable provider or the device’s manufacturer for instruction on how to disable RF signal or to receive an IR-only remote.
