By simply pressing the TV Control Button on the Wii U GamePad, you’ll have access to digital buttons that allow you to control the television as if you’re using a designated TV remote. The digital buttons, which appear on the new controller’s 6.2 inch touchscreen, allow you to turn your TV on and off, change channels, switch between various inputs, and control volume. The Wii U GamePad’s digital buttons can also function with cable boxes.
I’m wondering if this is done automatically or not.
I’m hoping for an auto search function I cba inputting shit loads of codes to get my tv or cable box to work with the game pad. Some codes only give you certain functions like volume and channel change no input change :-/
Yes, it is. It’s nothing but a quick button press and it scans your TV, and BAM, instantly programmed! No code inputs required
Are ya sure? Have you tried it?
I think it was IGN the recently had an article about someone taking one home to play around with. Apparently its exactly that you simply select the brand of tv etc and it scans for thr code on its own.
Yup, it was IGN. Take a look for the article. The guy said he has connected to two TVs, and both times took him a few moments. You choose your manufacturer I think and it goes from there
Most people have digital cable nowadays anyway. If it is not compatible with it i will not be impressed. We will know soon enough
I pray my goat can be programmed. The this I will make him do! Yes goat love is the future!
I’m pretty sure we already knew this.
I actually was gonna ask if it’d worth with cable boxes, and this article revealed that. Didn’t know that before.
*work
Tell us something Wii don’t know.

“I see what U did there.” Fixed that.

And people still persist on calling the wiiu current gen. There should be a concentration camp for people who think the wiiu is current gen.
As a Jew who had his Grandfather survive the Holocaust I don’t wish that kind of fate on anyone. Luckily he was able to hide and didn’t go to a camp, but still.
Oh COME ON! He obviously didn’t really mean it! -________-
Mike Is just being an attention seeking whore
Not enough love since he is a jew. An inferior being
Throw the jew down the well – borat
Hey, No offence to any ethnicity’s nor did I refer to any. (I suppose I kinda did by accident) But my point is , I just can’t believe there is people who persist with calling the wiiu current gen, it’s getting beyond retarded now.
Yeh I should of thought about such people as yourself before making such a comment. I’m the least racist guy you could meet :)
No offense taken, just putting it out there. You should be careful about word choice on the internet though, not everyone would take it as lightly as I do.
I know. I honestly wasn’t refering to jewish people , just to a place where all people who think wiiu is current gen should be taken and beaten .
Although I do realise even that is offensive :S.
Your a JEW???Grandpa was in the Holocaust???If you become what you eat wouldn’t that make cannibals the only normal person???????

I think Nintendo will soon be seeing a lawsuit from Sony over use of the phrase “it does everything”.

Already knew this, I don’t watch tv anymore thanks to Netflix, but pretty cool feature nontheless.
With Wii U you won’t experience interruptions from the TV anymore, with wii u you can watch the game with no problem; if you don’t buy a wii u you will end up like these people:
