Hi guys I need a little help. I have an Integra 5.8 receiver that does not respond to ANY of the manufacturers codes for my U-Verse. I only want to be able to turn the unit on/off, control the volume and change input (Cable/Dish, Game etc.) I'd like to spend less than $50 so I think the Harmony Line is out.

    Not all codes are listed. Read the instructions and you should be able to set the remote to search. It will automatically search all codes and when the Integra turns off, you have to pay attention and hit the enter button quickly. I believe it's the same remote as Comcast uses.

    You can pick up brand new harmony 600's on ebay for like 20 bucks. I've got one for my system and it works great! I have a Samsung TV, Onkyo tx-nr515, xbox one, and a raspberry pi running raspbmc running off of it.
