How to configure or pair a Bright House Remote (Universal Electronics Atlas) with Apple TV

I live in Central Florida and have Bright House Networks as my cable provider. The remote I received for my Digital Television service is a ATLAS OCAP 5-Device by Universal Electronics.

When I tried to have the Apple TV learn this remote it didnt work. The Apple TV couldn't seem to recognize the signal from the ATLAS remote. So I tricked it. I had a spare remote it tested fine with the Apple TV so I had the Apple TV learn it. Then I programmed the spare remote to work with the VCR button on the ATLAS remote. Now the Apple TV recognizes the signal from the ATLAS remote.
