is there a different remote that you can get that will give a channel menu guide and show information on what a show is about?

The remote I currently use that displays show information and a channel menu guide was given to me by my cable service provider. The Philips remote usually just gives TV menu settings and access to the Philips internet apps.

Yes but depending on the original remote configuration some functions might not work. I still need the original remote to use some functions in the menu.

Yes, but not a great one. It will let you know what is on the channel you are on and what is next as well as that channels sub-channels (ie: if you go to channel 7.1, you can see what is on 7.2 & 7.3). Again, it shows you what is on and what's coming up next, but that's it...

This is a learning remote so it should learn the program for your TV. The instructions should guide you on how to teach it.

When I was subscribed to DISH, I did map my dvr remote to the harmony remote. You can actually have it learn the functions of a remote and map the functions to any button of your choosing. Hope this helps...

I tried and apparently you can. But I don't know how one would access them. That is, one cannot Press (preset) Channel 1 or 2 etc, for example. Found no feature for that on the remote, or the box. But remote does have scanseek feature, So oyu can land on next available channel. How this helps.

there are several Remotes, this one did not mention my TV, but it works great and pulls up my apps and smart tv features.

Yes. In fact the best one I have seen so far. It can look up programs from 6-8 hrs, were most I have seen can only look up from 2-4. As long as the network your watching provides info for the show your watching, it will also tell you info as well. I don't know why some people are saying "No" because their is a button on the remote for this.

Don't have a regular remote so it's hard to answer But - when it's working (iffy @ best) there's the voice search function (only does Bing- can't make it do google and only searches VOD can't seem to see netflix). If you prefer a wave moved cursor to arrow keys i guess it's worth it. There may be games that the magic remote is needed for but so far I haven't seen any games that look worth the trouble of downloading.

You don't need a code. It's not like programming a universal remote. You make the antenna/TV/converter connections and follow the directions to scan for channels available through your antenna.

I believe that you can select a different channel for each of them to operate on. In the description for both it says they are "command one programmable".

if your decide is not in their database, you can teach it by using your existing remote. That's how setup my ancient DVB tuner.

there are 3 radio channels that the remote control can use. If you're not getting good control because of interference you can switch channels.

Use the learning mode programming feature of the URC A6, and you can program it for anything. I have had success with controlling Roku players using the original remote to learn the functions.

I have Direct TV and use the remote for that mainly but I also use it to navigate the channels I get through the antenna.
