In the FAQ (A1-04) on "What's the difference between European and North American models?" it says "... The remote's firmware has had minor changes made to it depending on the intended region. European firmware versions include a code database covering many European-only brands, while the North American version similarly has US-centric brands. The default configurations files are also modified to
include regional functions (such as TeleText in the UK and Closed Captioning
in the USA)."

Does this mean that a US model (i.e. 3000) won't be able to run TeleText, or simply that you have to 'teach' the unit the relevant codes?

Is there any other practical downsides to using a US model i.e. 3000 in Europe, aside from the RF differences?

Many thanks in advance for any advice,
