Hi Rocky3 Digitalone
The TELUS TV Digital Box remote can control only 1 device via IR at a given time (while at the same time controlling the box via bluetooth). This includes TVs, soundbars, amps and receivers. There is a list of pairing codes here: https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/telus-tv-digital-box-remote
The solution to controlling a soundbar and TV at the same time is to connect the soundbar to the ARC/eARC HDMI input on your TV. This way, you're controlling your TV with the remote, and the TV in turn is controlling the soundbar.

Thanks for the input however unless Telus plans on gifting me a new TV for my kitchen ( the only TV out of 4 I have that doesn't have ARC) i guess I'm you know what out of luck. Strange that with all the technology today Telus couldn't partner with a company that offers a remote like Logitech (of the past) or Softbatton. Anyway such is life.
Cheers.

Hi Digitalone
Unfortunately, the consumer demand for high-priced universal remotes really isn't there to make it worthwhile for TELUS to offer, especially as ARC/eARC has been pretty standard on TVs for the past 10 or 15 years (and to be honest, it would be cheaper for you to buy such a remote that you like than to buy or rent one from a telco).
