Disney TV with DirecTivo

Help!!

My kids have Disney TVs (Mickey Mouse and Princess) and DirecTivos and I can't get the peanut remote to control them? I've tried the code search without success.

Anybody know of a code that may work?

Look on the back of the set for a FCC id. There's a website (several actually)
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=145 that you can search FCC ID's and track down manufacturers.

You might want to try remotecentral.com

I have the same TV. It's a couple of years old. I didn't have any luck either. When I get hHome I'll for the manufacturer. It was on the label on the back. I know it statrs w/ "M". It's not Magnavox. Oddly enough I want to say it was Maxell.

Even more odd.

The manufacturer for mine is actually Memorex.

And Memorex is just a brand.

The acual manufacturer is likely some nameless (in the American market) Chinese job manufacturer.

The style of remote used on those TVs is very popular for lower end TVs and VCRs. Maybe you can go an see what other major brands use the same style
remote and go there.

My brother has an Electrohome TV that has a similar remote, as does our JVC VCR.

That's may be true, but when you run down the list of TV "names" is appears to usually go by Name Brand and not who actually manufactured it overseas to use your example. Brand or Manufacturer can be a blurred line. TV remote codes are generally described under the catergory of "Name Brnad" aren't they?

Now that you mention it, I have a low end Sylvania DVD/VCR TV combo for the kids room and like you said, the remotes actually do look similiar. I'll have to check that out.
