I doubt it – except you’ll be able to programme in one enter, no peripherals besides these two units, no arial, no cable field, no AVR amp… then you definately would possibly have an opportunity.
20 years in the past when all the things labored on infra-red, you could possibly get units that would ‘steal’ a set of controller instructions by actually pointing one on the different. I had one. It was nice, although it took about 6 ‘pages’ of knowledge show on its display screen [about the size of a modern iPhone] & typically once I wished to begin the DVD participant, as an alternative it will change the radio on. Such was know-how again then.
Then corporations began utilizing a ‘household’ of infra-red command units, so you could possibly get sensible remotes with all these ‘households’ pre-loaded – although you’d nonetheless must manually change between them, utilizing TV/CD/DVD/HiFi and so on buttons on the distant.
Now we have got ‘smarter’ we have not moved on a lot in any respect…
Some remotes nonetheless use infra crimson. Some use Wifi, some use bluetooth.
There’s one other push to strive acquire full management over HDMI often called e-ARC [which needs all equipment to be compatible.
So 20 years on, I can programme my ‘video recorder’ [or my lights or heating] from wherever on this planet utilizing my cellphone, and watch what it recorded too. I’ve one distant that may change my total rig on & off, and efficiently management the AVR amp’s quantity from any of the 4 remotes I nonetheless have on my couch…
Every thing else nonetheless wants simply a few buttons from every of the 4 to construct the entire management suite. The opposite 30 buttons sit there unused.
Practically forgot about this one, you may want as effectively – HDMI-CEC
Sorry if this sounds cynical. I’ve spent actually 20 years making an attempt to have such a system, one distant for all the things. It is all the time ‘simply across the nook’. I am down to simply 4 issues interconnected – TV, Mac, AVR, cable field… gone is the CD participant, DVD, BluRay, Radio receiver, video recorder… & I nonetheless cannot do it. [My TV can do AppleTV so I’ve never gone for yet another separate device.]
