I haven't had a chance to play around with this feature too much. My TV is connected to my AV receiver which is connected to my Directv box. Right now I'm using one remote to turn on the receiver one to turn on the tv and one to turn on box/ change channels...not the best way to do it. Can the gamepad be programmed to all 3 or just 1 of 3?

Im wondering the same thing.. Can I control my satellite dish reciever as well?

i only have 2 remotes, but so far it works for my box and my tv, so it may work for all 3 of yours

I'm not in front of my Wii U to tell you exacts, but when you go to settings and click on to set up your tv, you can do just tv or tv + cable/satellite box. Those are the only 2 options to setup.

If you're like me and you're tv isn't supported, go through the setup for the satellite or cable box and when it asks about the tv, just say it works even though it doesn't. Then you can use you're gamepad to control the channels, just not the volume and input.

I'm sure it will only work for one.
