Your Results May Vary, In My Humble Opinion
I Call It Like I See It, Simply a U-verse user, nothing more

 - Perhaps there was some misunderstanding about which remote the vizio answer applied to. It is up to the mfgr to provide programming details for their remote.
For the Vizio remote to apply to u-verse - It sounds like they came up with some codes, but sent you to att for programming steps.  att cannot provide this. Usually the TV manual will include it. I could not find it in the Vizio manual. I was having trouble reading it because it jumped so much. But, it does not appear to be there. You have to push back on Vizio or see what you can find on their site. Maybe try to find a Vizio forum. Where did you buy it? Maybe they can help.
For the u-verse remote controlling the Vizio TV. Expect only on/off and volume control of the TV if there is any. If you have an older s-10 remote you may be able to control more on the TV if you can find a code.The newer S-20 remote may have a newer code set, but is designed to limit the TV functions to power and volume. It is iffy on changing input. Att does provide code lists and programming instructions for their remotes, but cannot definitively say what is supported.
As Chris says, Logitech Harmony will support your setup. This is their business. They work at it. They are constantly uopdating the devices supported. If you find something not supported & have the original remote you can add it. If you not have the originall remote, Logitech will work with you to add it, if it is at all possible.
The reason Logitech works at it is because you have to pay for the remote. You do get what you pay for, in this case.

  • Connecting my xbox 360 to my cable box

    I have recently been gifted a flat screen TV. It's HDMI inputs are being used by the cable box & my blue ray player. What I want to do is connect my gaming console to the cable box. Can someone instruct me on how to do this and how to access it once connect? Thank you.

     You can switch the blue ray HDMI cable to xbox whenever you wanna use it.   OR buy a HDMI splitter.

  • Connecting Panasonic HD TVs to HD Cable box

    I have 2 HD Panasonic TVS. I have tried to connect them to a Verizon 6200 Cable box. This does not have a DVR. When I connect using the HDMI connetion there is no picture or sound. If I connect these TVS to a HD CAble box with multi room DVR they connect.
    I have contacted Panasonic and Verizon and have received little help.

    This post belongs in the FiOS TV Technical Assistance board, but I will reply.
    Need more information on your setup. What is your DVR box model?
    Have you tried the 6200s with component cables? If so do they work?
    Are the 6200 doxes connected directly HDMI to the TV?
    I have heard of issues with HDMI and QIP-6xxx series boxes, and much has been done to resolve these issues with upgrades and changes to the img software. If you must have HDMI and the DVR is the QIP-7xxx series, you may want to see if you can get the QIP-6200 boxes upgraded. But it may be difficult to get both boxes replaced if component cables work.

  • 42SL417 Connection or Compatibility Issue with Explorer Cable Box 8642HDC

    I have the TV listed above and recently switched to Brighthouse cable.  Intermittently my TV loses the connection to the cable box and the input information (1080i, 720p, etc) comes up across the top of the TV and the picture resets.  I had the cable guy out and he said that there was a compatibility issue between the TV and the cable box.  I didn't get all the information since he talked to my wife, I was at work.  I don't believe that this is the issue, but wanted to check to see if this was a known problem or if anyone has had a similar experience.  My firmware is 2.2.2, which I believe is the most current.  Any thoughts or ideas?  The best I could get from my wife was that the box was trying to communicate with the TV to maximize resolution and the delay creates the connection problem.  Before I call the cable company back, I wanted to get some opinions.  My thought is that there is a signal problem since the internet had connectivity problems as well.  He changed the cable on the internet connection and said that would fix that, but I can't believe they aren't related.

    That is indeed the latest firmware.
    You may want to perform a factory reset, as described on page 44 of your user's guide. After the reset, ensure your TV is off and unplug it for a few minutes. All your settings will be reset, so you will have to set up the TV again.
    You might also want to try disabling CEC (page 39) or auto aspect ratio feature (page 47).
    I don't know for sure that any of this will help, but these are your best bets. Unfortunately, if none of this helps, I'm out of ideas.

  • How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

    Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

    Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

  • Remote doesn't program with TV, help using cable box volume

    Hello, I have just had Fios installed in my home and my remote is not able to program with my TV. I have a Magnavox TV and it is old, The installer said that my TV is unable to be programmed with my remote which is why I am here. I have tried every opion in the Control manual to no success. The remote I have is a VZ P265v2 RC and the code for my TV brand is 222 (which doesn't work). I can live without the power opion and the others that come with it, but I need the volume to work since I do not have a remote for my televsion. So my question is, is there a way I can have my remote just use the cable box itself as a volume control without it being programed to the TV if you understand what i mean.
    I apologize for the horrible sentences grammar and any confustion, I don't exactly know how to exsplain what I want. I know the Cable box has its own volume setting and the TV has its own volume setting, I want to be able to just use the cables to adjust the volume with the remote.
    ~Edit~
    I have found the opion I want to use in the Audio settings called "Set-Top Box Volume", now is there a way I can bing this opion to my remote volume keys so I dont have to go into the settings each time to adjust the volume

    It is set to variable in the audio option, and I assume its using Coax or component cables to connect the STB to the TV since the installer did it himself, and I honestly don't know what those are. I have a wire from my wall connected to my box and then the box is connected to the TV.
    I also have multiple other boxes in my home that was just installed as well, and were able to be programmed for the TV using the remote, and the volume controls the actual TVs volume, not the STB volume which is in the opions. Thats the volume control in which I want to use//the only one I seem to be able to use via the control but its only accessable threw the opion and its quiet inconvient since differnt channels seem louder and quieter then each other.
    So same question stands, is there a way to use the volume buttons on my Controler to use the STB Volume not the actual TV's. It is current set on variable, not fixed and still no go. And once again I have tried the command codes to program the remote and doesnt work, even tried using them all via pressing the <OK> and the FIOS TV buttons then holding the PLAY button for quiet a few minutes and still a no go.

  • Connect Cable Box Output to MacPro USB Input

    Is it possible (using appropriate cable) to connect the HDMI output of a cable box to a USB 2.0 input on a Mc Pro in order to view cable TV programs?

    BDAqua has it right.
    HDMI has nothing compatible with USB. USB is far too slow, and the signal levels and data encoding are completely different.
    If you could get past all that, they still would have nothing to say to each other.
    And Macs generally have no HDMI inputs, only outputs.
    To view Cable TV programs off your cable box, you need a TV set.

  • HT4366 We do not have a port to the TV. Is there a way to pug it into the cable box? The cable box has a Hdmi port

    We just purchased the Apple TV 2 and our TV doesn't have Hdmi port, but out cable box does. Can we hook it up to the cable box?
    Is so, how we keep trying and nothing is happening 

    You can't connect the Apple TV to the cable box either using HDMI or something else. The Apple TV is for use with HDMI only, although some users have found workarounds which may or may not work for you.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

  • Connecting U-verse digital cable box to new iMac

    I was wondering if there was a simple solution to hooking up my digital cable box from U-verse to my new iMac so I could watch TV on it when it is not being used as a computer. Note that I do not care about recording TV onto my hard drive etc., just want the output of the cable box to show up on the iMac screen so I can get rid of the TV in the office? I see the Elgato EyeTV but that seems like overkill, is there a cable plus software solution I can get?

    There used to be a lot of posts looking for remote codes that worked for the s-10 remote. The new s-20 is supposed to be more friendly to sound systems. You might call in & ask for one.

  • HT201335 I want to hook up an Apple TV device to my TV but only have one HDMI connection that's already used  for my HD cable box. Can I connect the Apple TV device to my TV that has  s video, PC in and  component jacks unused ?

    I want to hook up Apple TV but my One HDMI Jack on my TV is already connected to my HD cable box. My TV has jacks for s video, component, and PC in jacks.
    Can I use one of them to connect to Apple TV with some type of cable to my newer I-pad ?

    Here are the Apple TV outputs.
    What other outputs does your HD cable box have?

  • I'd like to connect my new iMac (2013) to my cable box to watch tv in my kitchen how do I do it?

    I am interested in using the iMac we keep in the kitchen as a tv. Can I connect it to my cable box and use it that way? The iMac is new. I purchased it about 6 months ago. It's the smaller of the two sizes.

    Not really. The only way is to have a system to Stream the TV images to the computer. To do what you want, Cable box to computer, you would have to use the computer as just a screen (TV) and although there is a way to use the iMac as a screen for another computer, Target Screen Mode, that won't work for connecting a cable box to it.

  • How to connect with a cable box

    I cannot seem to find any information on how to connect up an Apple TV in a system that has an external cable box. I live in NY City where you cannot get cable TV without the external cable box. Where in the set up (along with my DVD player and component audio) do I fit the AppleTV?

    I've used a 5 X 1 HDMI switch from Monoprice.com and it works just fine. I only have two HDMI inputs on my TV and use one just for the cable box and the other has the 5X1 switch hooked to it. The five ports are: a Toshiba DVR, a Mac Mini, an Apple TV, a DVI to HDMI cable for my MacBook and a spare port hopefully a HD-DVD some day.
    One problem is if you calibrate the HDMI port on the TV to a device on the switch, when you switch to a different device the picture may not be optimal for that second (third, fourth or fifth) device. This is not the fault of the switch, rather a function having different devices on one HDMI port.
    Rarely, very rarely, when switching to the Apple TV you need to tell it the resolutions for the TV.
    Finally, if you are impatient, it takes three seconds or so when switching between devices. Otherwise a switch works great for me.

  • I have an older HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection. I use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II system and have a HDTV cable box. Bose system has no HDMI. How can I connect an Apple TV to this system?

    I have an older flat panel HDTV with only 1 HDMI connection which is being used through my cable box for TV reception.  I also use a Bose 3.2.1. GS Series II home theatre system.  It has no HDMI inputs. Can I use an Apple TV with my present system?  I'd prefer not hearing, "buy a new flat panel."

    Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.

  • My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

    My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
    Help!

    No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

  • Connecting a 23 inch monitor to comcast HD cable box

    Hi folks
    I just got a 23 inch monitor and I am interested to know if anyone has used the display to output video from a cable box. I have a female DVI to HDMI connector and the cable box has an HDMI port. Is there anything else I should worry about?
    thanks!

    I have not tried this myself with my 20" cinema display but when I tried it with a viewsonic monitor I had problems with the Digital Copy Protection system they use on the HDMI/DVI ports on the cable boxes to prevent people from copying the video. I do not know if the Apple display has HDCP support or not. If it does it should work fine, otherwise your get an error message on the screen telling you there is a DCP error. Either way if you already have the cables give it a try it won't hurt your monitot. Note that if you get a DCP error (or no display) when you connect the HDMI cable restart the cable box with the monitor attached to see if that works.
