If you have a Grundig GUFSAT01SD Freesat set top box (STB) in the UK, and you also have a One For All remote control, you can get the OFA remote to control the Freesat box using the following setup:

Device code (SAT device) 1617

This works for me on an OFA 7555 and 7556 – if you don't get a double blink when you enter the 1617 device code, then your remote doesn't have that code in it, and the rest of this will not be much use. If the code was accepted, then you'll find that not much works to start off with, so you need to set up the keys. I leave the key mapping to your choice, but you'll need to decide where some of the less obvious ones go (e.g. there is no key labelled Swap on the OFA remote).

As a useful quick reference, the key sequence to add each key is:

Magic*994Magic<keycode><key to assign it to>

You should get a double blink after each key assignment.

(Magic* means hold the magic key until it flashes)
