Make sure that the Ultra remote doesn't have it's buttons sticking in the "ON" state. It is a terrible remote. Half the time it doesn't work and the other half of the time the buttons turn sideways and get stuck. If the remote sticks on, it will mess up other IR devices.
I have programmed my RS-2116 8-in-one remote to run my Lifetime receiver. It takes a while to figure out which button on the 2116 does what, but once you figure it out, it works more reliably. It does require a JP1 cable and a computer to program the remote though. There are cheaper RS remotes that are JP1 capable, but I'm not sure which models. The RS people don't even know what JP1 is. However you can tell, if you open up the battery compartment and see a little 6 pin connector next to the battery.
