Abstract: The invention relates to a programming system for remote control devices (6) and a method for operating said system consisting in preparing and storing command code data and/or a command transmission protocol for controlling a remote electronic device on an information medium which is used for introducing said data into a device memory unit (6). The novelty of said invention lies in that the information medium is embodied in the form of the memory device of a telecommunication network server which is used for forming and storing database for different remotely controlled electronic equipments. The required data is obtainable from the memory device of said server (1) through the telecommunication network to a remote programmer (3) from which said data is introduces into the memory unit of the device (6), for example with the aid of a cable connection (4). The database can be created from a remote computer (2) through Internet network.
