No, the fire tv remote only goes by tv brand, it can't be hacked. Do yourself a favor get a UEI made remote like the ofa urc-7880 or Inteset 422-3 universals remotes, they have code searches, and blink back feature to identify the code. Once you find a working code look up all brands in the UEI manual that use that code. Take those brands and search fire tv remote for the brand's codes. Going forward whatever oem remote or universal you get, you know the tv brands to try that match your tv. Come back list those here to help others in the future. :)
