Hi,

While moving between apartments, I lost the remote control for my Magnavox
20" TV (model is 20MT1331/17). What is the best way for me to get a remote
for it now? I see a few universal remotes which are cheaper, but how do we
know whether it is compatible with my TV? The regular remote on the
Philips website costs $35...can't afford it!

I don't have any other electronic equipment yet and am a poor grad student
currently. Please suggest the best way out of this...your time and effort
in helping me are greatly appreciated!

With reg,
SK


Any decent universal remote will work. And they only cost a couple bucks
US.

Any of the All for One remotes will work with your TV as well. I
have a model URC4041 AFO remote that will operate over 100 brands of
TVs, VCRs, cable converters and even some stereo receivers. Get one of
these remotes and you'll be covered, not only for the TV you have now,
but for any other set you may get in the future (CRT direct-view; I'm
not sure if the AFOs will operate plasma/LCD sets).

Kind regards,
