You should be able to go to www.pace.co.uk & find an email address to which you can send this question.
Alternatively, their main switchboard number is 01274-532000

I just found this with a search on Google:

There`s also the one4all site here http://www.oneforall-int.com/index.html if you need to find anything off them. Go to Product Support/Universal Remote Controls. Find your remote, then Find your Setup Code.

I`ve got an OFA 6 and it works fine with the Pace box. I think I used the internet update feature which basically lets you download a wav file that you play to the remote to update it. I`m not sure if this was really necessary, but it`s neat.

I can`t remember which code I used, but I can check later. I may not have everything working, but it`s a matter of getting round to using the learning option.

I still haven`t programmed the DVD remote in, but as that`s the least used it`s not a bog issue. The OFA is doing TV, VCR and cable.

Is the one for all 6 worth getting? I have a dvd player, ntl digibox, tv and and home cinema receiver, will it control all of these? And how much does it cost?

The OFA6 can be had for a bargainous £9.99 from Richer Sounds. which is a great bargain as it was about £40 on release. As to whether it will control the gizmoes you mention, it may be worthwhile listing the manufacturer and product codes - maybe our OFA6 owning friend above could verify, or you could check their website as suggested above too.

The OFA6 has also been known to hack Philips/Yamaha DVD players which is a useful aside :-)

Cheers clayts, I have a pioneer dv525 dvd player, and ntl pace digibox, a 28 anstrad tv not sure of code, and a pioneer vsxc300 receiver.
If anyone could tell me if these are likely to work on the OFA6 I would be most grateful!

I`m using my OFA6 with a Hitachi 32" widescreen, an Aiwa VCR and the NTL box. The manual lists equipment by type and manufacturer. This means that sometimes there are a dozen different codes to try. Finding the right one can be a pain as some may work partially.

A possibly useful site is http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/index.shtml. There may be a list somewhere of specific equipment model and their codes, but I haven`t found it yet.

One feature of these remotes is a PC interface. You have to build a simple cable and then you can program it from your PC. This is another of those things I may try some time.

Basically I think it`s a good device. It`s supposed to handle just about any remote codes including IRDA devices like the NTL box. It`s replaced my three main remotes for 95% of the time. If I got around to programming some other buttons that would be 100%. You can program shifted functions which effectively doubles the number of buttons. Then there`s macros. It gets to be a problem remembering all the settings. I`m not using it to it`s full potential, but for the price I`m not bothered.

There`s some nice remotes with LCD screens, but some of them cost more than my DVD player.
