Yeah, I've programmed my tv already. But it won't seem to let me press three digits to find a three digit channel. 99 seems to be my max. Any idea on how to add that third digit?

Don't you need a Shaw cable box to get any of the digital channels?

lol...just bought it last week myself. I don't know if it's the batteries, but the thing drained 6 new AAA batteries in 4 days. Weird. Anyhow, I think you're supposed to hold that program button for like 5 seconds until the light comes on, then press TV (if that's what you're programming), then press the 3 digit code (in my case, it was 002 for a Sony TV). Then press the power button until the TV goes on/off. There was this sticker at the back of the remote though, that says an alternate way of programming the thing was hold the program button, then hit TV, then hit Enter a few times then on/off until the TV goes off. Haven't used it in a few days because I gotta pick up batteries, but the thing does the trick. I just hope the battery thing isn't a problem.

edit: oops. Just realized what your question wanted (thought it was about programming the thing). Don't know if you can do 3 digits on the remote (it's just sooooo basic).

Universal remotes are a waste of money. I bought one and I still can't control the universe.












... sorry, couldn't resist.
