Do the remote codes match for various universal remotes?

I have several brands of universal tv, vcr, dvd etc. remotes. For
some I have the list of codes, and for some I don't. Do they usually
have the same codes from brand to brand?

I know I could just compare two lists, or every list I have, but I
still wouldn't know about the others, and I thought someone might know
the answer right off the bat. Thanks.

NO they don't. Rather than asking a newsgroup why don't you go to
www.remotecentral.com to get more information. Are you talking about the
numbers you enter a pre-programmed remote so it will control a device, or

Yes, this one. I look in a chart for my brand of tv, and it gives one
or more usually three digit numbers that I enter. If I get the right
three numbers, it now works as a remote for that tv.

are you talking about the IR codes that are transmitted to the device in
order to control it.

I knew there were such codes, but wouldn't know what to do with them.
Well, after reading Homer's post, I guess I do know something to do
with them!

Neither are common between different brands.

Exactly what I wanted to know. Thank, and thanks Homer. I will get
better organized on the lists I have, and I'll keep my eyes out for
other lists if I see them.

(I didn't collect this stuff until I got a Magnavox tv at a yard sale
that ended up requiring 3 remotes to control all the functions. I
have a learning-remote, and I was going to teach all 3 sets of
commands, but a year later I got a single Magnavox remote at a hamfest
that did everything the 3 did. Now I'm interested in all this
stuff._)
