Universal remotes (TELUSTV-24S and One For All)

 Posting this mostly in case it turns out to be useful for someone else out there.

I purchased a One For All Essence 6 universal remote, but struggled to set it up in relation to my Telus set-top box (a TELUSTV-24S or SER2024TLU). In my case, using code 6068, which is for a Technicolor product, was the solution. Summarizing the steps:

  • Pressed the STB button
  • Held the Setup button until it flashed twice
  • Typed in 6068 and waited for the Setup button to flash twice once again

It was then possible to turn it on/off, use the cursor keys, etc. It's not perfect, and some keys I might have expected to work don't seem to do anything, but it's a broadly functional solution.

Note: the universal remote has a learning function and it worked well for my TV remote and for my soundbar remote, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work with the supplied set-top box remote from Telus 🤷

Hope this helps someone! I did find some existing threads (like this one, and this one) but they didn't really provide a concrete answer. Perhaps, if the mods allow, this could be left open so others can add other helpful notes for universal remote users.
