    Do you NEED IR cable to work Talon remote?


    Bought a Talon remote yesterday, before I realized it’s possible to also control the TV volume with it. I don’t have a Kinect and it wouldn’t be worth it to buy one just for this function. Looking around online I’ve seen people who seem to get this remote setup with TV controls without using a Kinect or even an IR cable. Not sure what I’m missing, but I went to set it all up and got to the point where I found the TV model and it says “Your TV has been set up. We automatically detected your TV and know how to control it.” But...still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    xbox one media remote control tv volume WITHOUT Kinect ... possible?

    No, it's not a universal remote: (www.xbox.com/.../media-remote)

    The remote controls TV/receiver power and volume through Kinect, or an IR extender cable (cable not included).

    You need Kinect or IR Extenders.

    Am I missing something?

    The IR Blaster is for use with the remote for your cable service. A controller will not work for that.

    How do you control Xbox One with a Universal Remote?

    My remote is an off-brand one with little active support. But the software for the remote lets me program specific IR codes for each button. In looking for a guide somewhere that describes the IR codes needed. For the harmony 360 remote, do you have to program
    anything special? Or just set it as a 360 remote and everything worked automatically?

    Cant control Dish Network Joey

    Hi,

    Many DISH network boxes allow users to set different IR 'addresses' to send commands to. For XBox One or universal remotes to work, you need to have IR enabled (not RF) and it needs to be set to IR address 1.

    Let us know if you need help figuring out how to do this. When I've done it, I had to hit some crazy key combinations on the remote.

    Ability to watch TV on Xbox One is amazing and underrated

    My understanding was that the Xbox is just a passthrough for your TV. The guide on your Xbox One will just be a customized version of what you get on your normal cable box. I have Dish Network. Your remotes use IR to control your cable box and the Xbox has
    an IR blaster, doesn't this just work as your remote?
