Before I bother my TV repair guy with this one, is there a list of
what TV's this remote should control-- or some way to determine if it
is the remote or the TV- when the TV is an hour away?

If you have a camcorder you can usually see the flashes by taping from the
front of it.

There are specialty stores on the web that sell remotes.
