[CFL] Programming BHN remote for additional devices

We have bought an Apple TV streaming box and a 4-way HDMI switching box. Each has a remote. Can the BHN remote be programmed to run the other devices?

I found a link on Apple's site that says that the Apple TV can "learn" any third party remote and gives instructions.

I'm looking at my AppleTV remote right now. With only 7 buttons (4 on the upper wheel, 1 in the center of the wheel, and 2 below) I'm not seeing how it would handle the most basic functions of my other devices.

When your services were installed a fold out should have been provided with each remote. You can also find these instructions by doing a search on your favorite search engine. I'd offer a link, but there are a couple of different revisions of the remote that look the same. If you live near a BHN office you can stop in and ask for hard copy as well.

I have an Apple TV and have never seen anything remotely discussing that so you have my attention as well

Ok, I see what is going on. Its not that the AppleTV remote will control anything. OP wants the BHN remote to control AppleTV. IE: Press VCR to control Apple TV.

EDIT: adding the link to the remote programming page. I put my zip in and it pulled up a dozen or more remotes that have been used.
