remotes that are built for cable boxes like the cox remote is a universal remote control. although this is a universal remote, it normally will only work with cox digital converter cable boxes. therefore if the digital converter box that you want to control is from cox or motorola (or similar supported affiliate of cox) then pressing the CABLE button will control that said digital converter box. The AUX button will normally not control another digital cable box, because the manufacturer figures that the only converter STB that you will be using is theirs. thus, the CABLE button is only set for their STB. Normally to control weird or unpopular digital converter boxes - universal remotes are recommended. there are many brands, but make sure you find a learning universal remote. so in case the digital converter box code is not in the universal remote (like in the cox universal remote) then you can program it in yourself - hence the term "learning remote"
i picked up a ton of these last year for Christmas for everyone in my family because they were dirt cheap and most ppl watch tv. so a universal learning remote for everyone was convenient & cost efficient for the state of the economy last year. i posted a link of where i got mine from, but there are many on the market. find what you like & purchase it, but make sure its a learning universal remote.

To program your AT&T U-verse remote to work with the Insignia NS-DXA1 digital to analog converter box, first, turn on the converter box. Then, press and hold the "TV" button on the remote until the red light blinks and then stays on. Next, enter the code for Insignia, which is typically 11680 or 11684, and press the "Enter" button. If successful, the red light will turn off; if not, repeat the process using the next code until the converter responds.
A DirecTV remote may work with a KCPI converter box if the converter box is compatible with universal remotes and can recognize the programming codes from the DirecTV remote. You will need to program the remote to the converter box, which usually involves entering a specific code or following a pairing process. Check the user manuals for both devices for compatibility and instructions. If the KCPI box supports universal remote control, it should work; otherwise, you may need to use the original remote that came with the converter box.
The universal remote code for a Philco digital converter can vary depending on the remote brand. Common codes include 1004, 1015, and 1020, but it's best to consult the user manual of your specific universal remote for the correct code. If those do not work, try using the code-search feature on your remote to find the correct one.

If the batteries in a remote are dead, the only result is that the remote control won't work. It won't in any way affect the operation of the device that it controls. If the converter box is in standby, then the remote won't turn it on if it has dead batteries. If the converter is on, then it should keep operating as you would expect it to if the remote control isn't being used.

Found a solution that works well... I picked up a Sony RM-VL600 universal remote with learning capability. With this unit, I've been able to program all the functions of the TB100MW9 DTV Converter box. I picked up this unit at Walmart for $25, but have seen it on Amazon for as little as $16. This remote is a vast improvement over the remote that comes with the Magnavox DTV converter, and was easy to program. Found another solution.... after tinkering with the Philips universal remote for an hour, i finally found a code that can control the magnavox converter. the code is 0759. the Philips remote i have is SRU3006/27 but it might work for any Philips universal remote. the remote itself cost me about 15 dollars. if you call Philips or magnavox they would say none of the remotes can operate the converter.they obviously didn't know their own product...
