AT&T Uverse RF and C4

[jandkod]

Has anyone had any experience with Uverse and the RF control. I am a couple of months away from an install and was going to settle with cable secondary to the different type of IR code of Uverse.

I am curious if Uverse RF has any snags?

Being RF there would be no way to control it with your C4 system.

The RF adapter plugs into the USB port of the Uverse box. Theoretically it would be possible to have a USB to RS232 cable that accepts serial commands thus emulating the RF commands. You would need a motivated dealer to write such a driver.

Why couldnt you just use IR? That's how I controlled my uVerse box when I had uVerse.

Of course. Theoretically if you could modify the software on the Uverse box to work with the mythical USB to serial converter or design and build the USB/RF to serial emulation interface then you could theoretically write a C4 driver to control it. In theory this would work. IR would be a bit easier.
