Those devices are from 2008/2009
I'd be surprised to get 10 years of support on any technology product, let alone 17 years ๐คท
There is absolutely no reason why programming software for a universal remote should require a connection to a remote server to function. Program the codes you need, make some macros, and you're done. No server needed. Codes can be easily obtained from other resources that don't require 24/7 network access.
Yeah this is the part I don't understand. Does the remote not have onboard storage?
