Question:

can I use a universe remote on both my tv and my cable box?

I have a io digital cable box and I have tatung flat screen tv so can I use the universal remote on both cuz my cable box remote broke and I still have my tv remote but I hate to use it so can I use the universal remote on both of them or just one of themand if so which universal remote brand is the best to use.thanx

Answer:

Any universal remote should be able to control any of the devices, like the TV and the cable box! Usually you have to program the remote before it will work on the device! Look in the booklet and see what it has to say!! Good Luck!
when it comes to universal remotes, there should be a list somewhere on the packaging that has a list of compatible components and manufacturers on the back. that way you get the right one without having to take it back
did the cable guy leave you book with the codes for the tv. If so try the codes 1 more time. If it still doesn't work the book has a way to search for the code sometimes this works and if all else fails call the cable company up and tell them that the cable guy did not program your remote. It is their job to program your remote.
