I'm reading that the remote is Bluetooth and not IR. Does the TV have IR? Will I be able to program my FiOS remote to control the power and volume?

I don't know if the TV has IR - not a tech person. But I can use my FiOS remote to turn the TV on, but I can't control the volume. I think you can, but I played around with my FiOS remote and it doesn't control the volume anymore.

Not a tech person, sorry I can't help you, but I do know that I love the remote and could use the volume control if I wanted to. We have the sound hooked up to surround sound.

I don't use. FiOS remote but I've also noticed a delay with the remote included with the tv, so I just use my Xbox controller.

The 552 comes with a Bluetooth remote with a dedicated "VA" button to invoke the integrated apps. The TV also responds to two other Vizio remotes I have around the house for other TVs (both infrared, not Bluetooth) for basic commands like On/Off, Volume etc., however these remotes do not have the dedicated "VA" button on them, so there's no way (that I've found) to start the integrated apps with them.

I think the TV detects about everything I always turn off using the remote control. When you set it up the first time every thing should be turned on then use your cable box remote to turn it all on and off. I had problems with all the different remote controls and changed to a Harmony 1 this was a big help, you will need a computer to set the Harmony 1 up though. I also changed to AT&T; is much faster.I have the:SONY STR-DG920 Reciever.SONY KDL-46WL140 TV.BLU-ray BDP-S550POLK CSi A4 4 Ohm speakerPOLK (2) Small Speakers * ohm and will change to large LS 15 uSED IN A V WEEK.

Be sure to have a roku IR remote to program this. The roku Bluetooth remote won't work

Hi Ernest, Most Smart TV's have proprietary interfaces. Even though it may be Bluetooth or regular RF the Remote that comes with the unit probably is smart meaning has more software than is standard for HID compatibility. It is probably the same for your Home Theater. Some of the features can be programmed automatically in our KP-810-18R but because of the multiple options of a Home Theater device we would not be able to support all of your keys on the remote. I am certain that no other keyboard can provide the solution you are looking for either. Regards Tech Support

You can program it to use anything with IR. I have it using stereo, radio, and my TV. Best remote I ever bought!!!!

I know for me the DirectTv remote is RF and I think this is IR or Blutooth. Perhaps that is the issue?

I found with my Cable Company it gave me the code to use to program the remote yet I could never get the remote to accept the code, so I didn't have very good luck getting either the Cable Remote or the Vizio Remote to do both. All my cable remote will do is turn the TV on and off (only 50% of the time) and that's it. Sorry.

I ordered this remote replacement.It is a great remote , and is exactly as the real one. The thing is that it can be programmed for just 2 devices. One is the FIOS DVR, and the the other program is for the TV.I recommend that you check with Verizon, They may have remotes with more programmable options, then you can check in Amazon, to order the type they recommend. I know that Verizon has remotes for 3 or more devices, but let them to advise you.

You can replace it with an RF remote, they actually put out an RF and an IR signal but you'll still have to point the remote at the receiver if your receiver isn't RF capable. Keep in mind even if your receiver is RF capable you'll still need to go into the settings on it and link it to the remote in order for RF to work if you even want it to.

I have no problems like the ones you are experiencing. If you are using your cable remote, you need to program the remote with your TV code. That allows the cable remote to change the volume and mute the volume on the TV. Othewise you need to use your TV remote to do these functions. I have FIOS and the code is 210. Call your cable company to verify and have them walk you through the process. It is easy. All my front panel controls work except up and down channels. This is because the TV is hooked into cable and the TV itself needs to stay on channel 3. I hope this answers your questions. I have no problems like the ones you are experiencing.

You would of course need the Roku remote control. The VUR8 manual page 18 gives you everything you need -- step by step. https://store.vizio.com/documents/downloads/accessories/VUR8/244VIZIO%20VUR8%20User%20Manual.pdf Just make sure the Roku remote control you are dealing with is an Infra-red remote control. They have so many models now, I am not sure how each model remote works. If it is not an IR remote, VUR8 cannot learn it. For me personally, it works beautifully. I am so glad I found VUR8. I originally stumbled on this as I have a Vizio TV. But nowadays, all I do that is Vizio is power on and power off. After that it is 100% Roku; even volume control is programmed for my separate amplified speakers.

The tv remote part works with virtually any IR remote capable device as it has learning function. The keyboard will probably not work though.

Cinda, upon reflection, I would purchase a Vizio remote through Amazon. If it doesn't work,odds are it can be returned for a refund. They are good about returns. Good luck. Hansford

It comes with simple instructions to program your remote. I did my FIOS remote in about two minutes and it has worked fine ever since.

Yes, it works well. Any issues I have had I blamed on the crapy fios hardware. The ir detector placement is a little tricky as mentioned on other reviews. I finally placed on back of TV, facing the way. So it senses a reflection/bounce off wall from remote.
