this makes me inquire: Cable boxes: Are most of them using "learnable" codes? Is it "must be learnable" if it is in the infra red domain? or is it possible that it is in some way "proprietary"? My mom is starting to not pay attention to which remote she is grabbing, and her little granddaughter has messed things up a time or time. (little darling). So as with this device, can most learning remotes, "learn" most *dis, *direct TB, box remote codes? She doesn't need spoken. Great article, inspires thought.
