IMPORTANT NOTE only for UK Digital Cable viewers: Some cable boxes use non industry standard infra-red signals called IrDa. Learning remotes cannot send these signals. Please refer to the following compatibility chart.

Cable Box Model	Learning Remote Compatible
DI1000	No (see Red-Eye below)
DI1200	No (see Red-Eye below)
DI4000N	Yes - but with limited range. Better to use RedEye
DI4001NC	Yes
DI4010	Yes - but with limited range. Better to use RedEye

Sky-Digital, Freeview, and analogue viewers are NOT affected by this problem, and this remote will learn these products (and just about any other product) 100% okay.

11220 Red-Eye infra-red translator
To use the learning remote with digital cable, then you simply additionally need the Red-Eye infra-red translator. This brilliant little device sticks to the front of your Pace 1000, or 2000 series set top box, and plugs into the rear socket of the cable box for power. It translates RC6 infra-red codes, into IRDA codes, thereby allowing your learning remote to control the cable box.
