Fairfield, CT | Uverse Remotes with green sticker that say RF
I bought some replacement remotes for my uverse boxes on ebay and realized they dont work. They dont have the blue stickers like my old remotes, they have green stickers that say RF on them.
Any way to make these remotes work with my boxes? |

| I notice that the RF remote is "out of stock" at the AT&T store.

Is the USB adaptor/dongle compatible between green labels and blue labels? |

This should shed some light on it. You apparently didn't get the USB adapter receiver part?

| A Gray remote with the Green AT&T Sticker on the bottom for RF?
I believe these are for STBes that never made it to installs...
I actually have a couple of these RF remotes
Cisco makes an IPTV receiver that is similar to the Dish Network DVR in that it can feed multiple TVs, and the "slaved" TVs are controlled via RF remotes
I think this is where those old U-Verse RF remotes came in -- but those receivers were never used (AFAIK) for U-Verse |

Possible duped purchased?
Is there a "window" on the front of the remote (I haven't seen the RF ones)? If there is, you should be able to use IR. If IR isn't working, you'll have to program the remote with the box I guess... |

Wauconda, IL | Anyways why would you buy replacement remotes that are used? If they're on Ebay, there's likely going to be something faulty with them. Not saying Ebay is bad, but i would tend to stave away from buying electronics on it. |

here is the ebay listing i bought them from. I think i am SOL. The seller emailed me back and said he lists the model # for this reason and leaves it up to the buyer to decide most likely for CYA.

2 edits | Just as point of reference, my model number is RC1534801/00, so yours must be "newer."
As for things you can try, what about resetting the remote to it's factory defaults?
1. Press and hold the AT&T button, and, without releasing said button, press OK.
2. Release both buttons. All four mode keys should flash twice
3. Enter the code 900. The AT&T button should flash three times if done correctly.
If the light flashes once for a long time, then something went wrong and the remote is in normal operation, and you will have to start over.
I'm looking around now to see about reprogramming the AT&T key for the box.
EDIT: I'm not finding things yet, but I'm just still not understanding why that remote won't work... Factory reset should help since they come auto-programmed. |

Chunk73, Tanshin made an observation earlier that is very important. Is there or is there not a red window in the front of the remote? If there is no red window, it is an RF unit and without an RF to IR converter at the DVR or STB, the remote will not work. |

There is a red window on the front of the remote however i have a feeling that is only for the IR function to control devices assigned to the other 3 keys, TV, DVD, AUX. It has to have it for those 3 keys to work as I assume those use traditional IR and RF. |

West Simsbury, CT | Your AT&T box does use IR normally. Did you try to reset to Factory Default like I suggested? |

Does anyone know how to get just the usb dongle that they are selling with the current point anywhere remote? Would be curious to see if it would work with these. |

1 edit | No, the IR portion should work for the AT&T side as well.
I'm not sure if you can get the dongles separately though...
EDIT: I don't know if I would pursue separate dongles... I'm looking at that ad and the manual states that they are IR remotes. |

Ask the seller to send the dongle or a refund. If he refuses I would file a claim with EBay. In the photo it says “IR U-verse TV remote” It appears they sent you an RF remote. As there add is misleading you will likely gat a full refund if you insist there add mislead you.
