Serial control was only for satellite, but if you found a set top box
that used the same codes, it would probably work. Since you can add
custom IR codes to a 5K, most people use the blasters. The new digital
box OTA converters by RCA use the same codes as there other things and
nothing has to be done to the Replay. The Paterson translator is also
available to control new sat boxes via USB to serial.
