direct TV Has anyone had any success finding a remote code that will work with this TV and a Direct TV remote control?NOT fun having to use one remote for everything, but a second remote to turn the tv on or off, or change the volume.I tried direct TV and they were no help. I doubt Acer will be much more help but will try them too. Thought maybe someone had already solved this and couldn't hurt to post.Thanks! direct TV Has anyone had any success finding a remote code that will work with this TV and a Direct TV remote control?NOT fun having to use one remote for everything, but a second... » Read More direct TV Has anyone had any success finding a remote code that will work with this TV and a Direct TV remote control?NOT fun having to use one remote for everything, but a second remote to turn the tv on or off, or change the volume.I tried direct TV and they were no help.

Put TV on mute (but with volume raised up) using TV's remote)2. flip switch on direct tv remote to tv3. press and hold MUTE & SELECT on direct tv remote, wait for two blinks, release4. enter 9 9 15. enter 16. press and release VOL UP7. point the remote at the tv, keep pressing and releasing CH UP key until the volume changes (un-mutes)8. press SELECT to lock in codeThis worked. I found the code after about 30+ channel up presses, so be patient, it's there! and solved within 5 min of making this post, lol.I followed directions I found on directtv forums:1.

No. I have three of these. I bought my last one two months ago. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. I have to keep pressing the buttons hard to get it to work. All the money I spent on these cheap ones, I could have used to buy one from Directv.

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

I have a avr146 and all the basic controls work fine. I do not have my directtv or tv setup on this remote. I use my directtv remote. I do have my PS3 hooked to it but only for sound which is great,but use PS3 remote to make selections. Hope this helped at least a little.

I have not experienced that, but all of these devices have a "code switch" where you can set the code used by the Remote and the Outlet Box. Just set both the Remote and the Outlet box to the "same" code - of your choice. Any combination of the switches will work, just set both the Remote and the Outlet Box to the "same" code.

I know it works with the direct TV and I think it works with the roku. I do know that the learning function is uncanny and I have not found a remote it will not program to with the learning function. I have four and they run every device with a remote in the rooms with no issues

Trouble Shooting - If you have this remote and none of the buttons work except for the volume buttons I have the solution. You have to press the button on very most bottom right, it says TV. The buttons on the second row from the top are for Source Input select, they are not for selecting controller types. 99% of remotes in the world use the top buttons for universal remote type select but this remote puts those buttons on the bottom. I bought this controller because we spilled water on the old remote but maybe the reason it didn't work was because we didn't know about the TV button on the bottom right corner.

Regis: Sounds like you have a different version of the Comcast remote -- one with four-digit access codes. The newer HD ones have five-digit codes. Glad that everything works. You don't perhaps know how to control the source (TV / CD/ BD/ etc) or the types of sound (Sports, Movies, Drama, etc) with the comcast remote, do you? I still have to use the Sony remote to do those, if I need them.

I just started TV service through our local phone service (TDS-TV). The installer said the box is the same as a U-Verse box, just a different label on it. I was getting an "unable to copy" notice when trying to copy from the TDS DVR to our DVD recorder (Magnavox MDR535H) so I bought this Grex-7.4 unit. I can't get it to work. I have printed out the connection diagrams from the Dimax web site and none of them work for me. I get the DVD signal to the TV but no TV programming to it. I'm thinking that I may have gotten a bad unit, but I thought I would ask here if anyone has any tricks to getting this thing to work that I am missing. Thanks.

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

I haven't been able to, yet anyway. I'm still using two remotes. Cable remote for the TV and the Coby remote to control the volume. The volume button on the TV remote doesn't seem to do much. That being said, I'm sure there's a way to program them but I haven't taken the time to figure it out.

Thanks, M. Squires - much appreciated. I expect that I'll be using a Harmony remote, but presumably that just replicates the TV remote's own signal. If you find definitively that this either does or doesn't work, I'd love to know.

Hi, if you are pertaining to the remote codes so as to program your universal remote to control this TV, apparently those remote codes will be provided by the universal remote you are trying to use. You may check its manual for further assistance. -Ely

Curtis Mathes code will work, not sure of the code number but just go through the CM codes listed for your remote and one of them will work. BTW-The picture on this TV is AWESOME!

The TV remote codes are actually built into your direct TV receivers box. This is a newer remote so it should work fine.

Consult your manual for direct tv you have to remove the plasic dome and set the key switch settings to direct tv. If not preset.

I use my direct tv remote. To control mine, so I would think a universal remote would also work.
