Programming Cignal TV’s Universal Remote Control Unit (RCU)

I’m posting this here before it gets lost in Facebook, Cignal TV did not bother updating their RCU programming instructions on their website. If you were as frustrated as I was trying to figure this one out, well here it is.

First off, definitions..

RCU = Remote Control Unit (see featured image)
STB = Set Top Box
TV = Television (duh)
LED = The red light between the TV and power button

Programming the RCU to your STB

  1. Press and hold Power and OK.
  2. Wait for the red LED to blink twice.
  3. Use keypad, input 982. LED will blink 4 times.
  4. Press and hold Power and OK. LED will blink twice.
  5. Key in the STB code, use the codes that refer to your model on this link: http://cignal.tv/Article.aspx?id=15
  6. Press and hold Power and OK. LED will blink twice.
  7. Key in 982. LED will blink twice.
  8. Test if STB control works. (Volume probably won’t, I’ll cover this later)*

Programing the RCU to your TV

  1. Press and hold TV and OK.
  2. Wait for LED to blink twice.
  3. Use keypad, key in 991. LED will blink twice.
  4. Press minus (-) in CH until your TV turns off.
  5. Press the TV button, if TV turns back on, press the OK button.
  6. If TV doesn’t turn on, press the minus (-) button until TV turns back on.
  7. Press OK to save everything.

*To switch volume control between STB and TV, press and hold OK and VOL+ to use the TV. Wait for the LED to blink twice. Press and hold VOL- to use STB volume controls.
