Debbie, when I gave an answer to your question in the Tivo forum, I didn't realize you had the Tivo branded series 2 SA. Even if your 9800 had the Philips tivo code VCR0618, I don't believe it'll work. I'm basing it on the owners of your unit who have showed up in the Sony, HTM,and OFA remote forums,and had tried the philips codes and it didn't work. The only way to make sure that there is a OFA code for your unit is for you pick up a RS 15-2116,and try code VCR0618.
