[slinkelist] A bit off topic...

[Tony Golden]

For many brands of TVs, it's hard to find a universal remote with the menu
functions.  I have run into the same problem a couple of times.  Some
solutions:

1.  I hear a lot of people talking about the One-for-All, or 7-in-1 remotes,
and their "hidden" codes.
2.  Buy a Philips Pronto (awesome remote!), and you can probably find a file
with the codes needed on one of their (extensive) bulletin boards.
3.  The Harman Kardon Take Control/Madrigal IRIQ is a little less money (and
not as cool), and may already have the codes in it's database.
4.  Order a remote from the factory
5.  Get lucky, and find one at a pawn shop, or TV repair shop
6.  Go to a local store that sells a similar TV, and "borrow" one of their
remotes, or teach the codes to a learning remote (cheap ones are getting
hard to find).
