Universal remote controls are possible thanks to their ability to modulate the carrier signal they transmit. These remotes can be programmed with a three or four digit code that will modulate the carrier frequency to match that of the device you want to control. All you need is the appropriate code, which is usually found on a chart in the packaging for your remote. If you no longer have the packaging, these codes can also be found on various informational websites.
Instructions
Programming a Universal Remote for a Satellite Box
1. Locate the code for your satellite box's manufacturer and model. Write it down and keep it in a place where it can be easily found should the remote need to be reprogrammed.
2. Prepare your remote to receive the code. Each brand of remote will have some sequence of keystrokes that prepares the remote for programming. Refer to your universal remote's manual to get the correct key sequence.
3. Enter the appropriate three or four digit code.
4. Prepare your universal remote for use. Some remotes may require another series of keystrokes to turn off the programming mode before the remote is ready to use.
