The Vodafone Giga Box 4K is a Set-Top-Box which is based on the Bluetooth technology. However, all our One For All remote controls are based on the Infrared technology. This means, that our One For All remotes won’t be able to control your Vodafone Giga Box 4K. To read more about the differences between the Bluetooth and Infrared technology, please click on the following link: What is the difference between Bluetooth (BT), Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) remote controls?

The Apple TV 4 supports Apple TV remotes from previous generations as well, for which the setup codes 2615 and 1115 have been created.

Yes, your Essence is capable of creating Macros. You can program your remote to issue a sequence of commands at the press of one button. For example; you may want to turn off your TV, DVD and Satellite at the same time.

  2. Enter the code 995, the light will blink twice.

You can program any key on your OFA remote (except MAGIC or MODE) to send multiple commands on a single press –a Macro. This can be useful for controlling multiple devices to put them in a certain state – for instance you could put your TV on HDMI 1 and press Play on the Blu-ray player to start watching a movie. A key programmed with a Macro will send the same Macro regardless of the device mode.

To use the Macro feature, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Hold the magic key down until the light stays on.
  2. Enter the code 995, the light will blink twice.
  3. Use the MODE key to select the device you want the first function of the Macro to come from, for example TV.
  4. Press the key on which you want to program the Macro sequence.
  5. Enter the sequence of keys that you would like in the Macro.
  6. To end the Macro sequence, press and hold the Magic key until the light blinks twice.

Our remote controls always send out the standard duration of a signal, which enables most Macros. In your case, you need to keep the key pressed for a few seconds, which we are unable to reproduce into our Macros. Unfortunately, there is no solution for this. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
