Hi Barry, wish I knew the answer to your question, we have a Samsung smart tv and although I saw in the humax online manual that you could program the remote to turn the tv on I admit I havnt done it yet. The numbers for the Samsung tv ran into 10s and I was somewhat daunted. We ran away from Sky after 30 years so this freesat is all new to us silver surfers. Got it yesterday and already flumuxed. Thank you for trying to help though, I may put you on my best friends list.
