Newb questions for IR learning issue with new TV

Global Cache agreed to send me another blaster unit for my wf2ir itach unit. My learned commands now work as before from a distance of 15 feet with my new TV. Global Cache is a great company with great support and stand by the products they sell even after the warranty period is over.
