If your satellite is ONLY UHF, you are out of luck to the best of my knowledge. Some Sony's were selectable for IR OR UHF, most UHF featured RCAs I am aware of can do either or BOTH. This is also true of newer DISH Network boxes; many of the older units were UHF only, as was the original JVC DVHS unit.
