Question: Does power cut off/on both devices with one touch?
Document: I bought this remote control for my 90-year-old father, to replace a horrendous remote control that had dozens of tiny buttons that he never used. This one is ALMOST PERFECT. I'll get straight to what I think it's missing: it would be greatly helped if it had a master power button, so you could turn both devices on or off at once.
I bought this remote for my Grandma, as it doesn't have a lot of buttons. The only problem is that the power button won't turn off both her DirecTV receiver and the tv. This is a decent flaw, as I wanted something simple for her, and sliding the switch between devices just seems to be too much when turning the tv on or off. This might work for some, but ended up being a wasted purchase for me, as she does not use it at all.
Requires too many actions for an older person to work. Doesn't control cable box and TV with one touch of a button.
This remote control is the perfect choice for an older viewer who needs large buttons and only needs to control one or two devices. It has all of the essential features, but not ones that tend to confuse an older user. Bravo Sony for making technology accessible to our aging population.
Bought this for a stroke victim with limited mobility in his hand and it works great for him. The buttons are larger and that is a great help. Only works on 2 devices which is perfect for the TV & Direct Tv - sometimes simple is better. In the past we have purchased Sony remotes that do not work with the Dish system, we did not try this one on Dish, just Directv.
One thing Customer service was able to do was tell me how to use the "code search" feature. I was holding down the "power" button while pushing the channel "+" at the same time. I was supposed to push the channel "+" button, release, then push the "power" button, release. If that turns off your tv, that's the code you need, simply press "enter" to save it.
We purchased this little guy, programed him, then super glued his on/off button as well as his TV mode button. Then we super glued the TV mode and TV power button on the cable remote... but left the "all on all off button" in tact. It may take some thinking on how you might wish to set up your loved ones system but for us it solved a very big problem in her life as TV is one of her remaining joys.
I bought this FIRST when I lost my remote and it works great. Big, changes channels, changes inputs, volume, etc. However, I could not reprogram channels or access MENU mode. Later, the power went out one day and my TV memory was erased, and I could not use this to get my channels back. I had to buy a Sanyo remote specific to my class of TV's for $30.
It's a two component functioning remote, right? So one could hit the power and both components come on, right? Wrong! Quite an over site on a remote meant to be so simple for those less technically inclined or visually impaired. It has a nice feel and the buttons operate easily. Very easy programming. Too bad it doesn't have that one additional feature. Also, for elderly or visually impaired, get those white TV and CBL buttons out of the way somewhere so they can't be hit accidentally.
very big easy to read and use for seniors, better then the crap oem remotes that come with new electronics. easy to program, soft touch buttons
Answer: No, unless both happen to be on the same frequency (not likely) - you would need to select either the TV or Cable button to choose the device you want to control.  Not sure it is the best way to go, but I just turn the TV on/off and leave the cable box on all the time.  I have heard cable boxes use just about the same amount of power when they are off (actually "stand-by") as when they are on.
