Samsung Smart Uni Remote
I have a TELUS TV Digital Box model SER2304TLU (Technicolor). I am attempting to configure a Samsung Smart TV Universal Remote to control the box. Can the SER2304TLU receive infrared (IR) commands from third-party universal remotes, or does it accept Bluetooth commands only? If IR is supported: What manufacturer/device code should be used? Is there an IR receiver location on the box? Are IR command codes available for universal remote programming? If IR is not supported: Is there any TELUS IR accessory, dongle, or adapter available that would permit universal remote control?
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.
