Replacement Remote??

$35 for a replacement is kind of high in many respects.

Many folks will tell you about the various different programable remotes they have to control all their gear. This may be a good way to go. If you are going to spend $35 on this:



...you might want to spend more for a programmable remote (or maybe even less).

Yes the thomson remote will work.

I only mentioned what I did in case you have any desire to remove multiple remotes from your coffee table and use just one (assuming you have multiple pieces of gear).

 

That's what I got and it worked. My only problem was that the JVC codes for my TV did not work, I had to do the brute force approach to finding the codes, and probably went through 100 or so before I found it. What would be nice is if the remote could send the code to the Tivo so I could write it down and not have to search next time I put new batteries in.

But it's all working great and I'm happy with it... it is missing one little thing that my series 2 remote has, and that's the guide button (separate from the "live TV" button). But it's not biggie.

 

How do you program the Thomson remote and where can I find the codes for it?

Thanks in advance,

Jamie
