Thanks for the info. I returned the RCA and purchased the All-for-one URC-8810. It`ll turn on/off the box, and the guide options work, but that`s about it. The "learn" is nonsense, can`t change the channels or use the "fav" button. I couldn`t get the Durabrand home theater to work at all. I called their cust. serv. # and they told me to mail it to them for an "update". Off it went today, I`ll let you know how it works whenever I get it back!
