New Samsung TV --- Do I Need a New Spectrum Remote

edited December 2022 in Spectrum Archives: 2020 - Present

buying a new Samsung Series 7 TV. As far as I know, this has a 4-digit remote code. But although I have a fairly new Specturm Cisco DVR, the remote is the old 8780L variety ---- 3 digit codes.

If I go to Spectrum can I get a remote that will use the 4-digit codes? I'd hat to replace the Cisco DVR, as I have a lot of old shows on there. The Cisco came with a newer remote, but when I went for a replacement, all my local store had were the old 8780's.

    Hello,

    You are able to go to the local office and swap out the remote for a new one.

    Thanks again, Satch. That does make perfect sense, and clearly I was too concerned about the 4 digit vs 3 digit. but your explanation sorts it all out.

    Was planning on paying for it this weekend, and then its about a week for delivery. (I can't lift in on my own.)

    Both Conns and Best buy have them on sale now.


    thank you again!

    Thanks, Satch. What threw me is that all of the published remote codes for newer sets have a 4-digit code. The 8780 only seems to have provisons for 3 (according tot he list it comes with.) But I'll give it a try.

    Satch -- Bear with my questions. I haven't paid for the new Samsung yet, just the down payment. I would REALLY like to keep on using my 8780L as you say. But the one mental hurdle I can't get over is that the published remote code for the samsun UN50TU7000FXZA are all shown as 4-digit, where the codes in the 8780 are all 3 digits. Does that make a difference? I'd really like to keep on using the one remote for dvr and tv, as I'm not a home theater fan.

    thanks for taking the times for my amateurish questions.
