Mother in Law has dementia and has lost her TV remote for her TV/DVd
combo.

Are there any recommendations for a 'universal' replacement brand and
should I be looking to get her a remote that covers two 'appliances' even
though both TV and DVD are combined into the one unit (I'm assuming so
here).

There are some brand specific remotes for her unit (Logik) but most seem
to be copies of varying quality which is why I'm looking for a reputable
maker of a universal type.

They are all much of a muchness. Just make sure the one you pick has
decent sized buttons and a similar layout to the missing one.

In your situation I would look down the sides of every piece of
furniture before buying another one and if at all possible replace it
with like for like so that the button layout is identical.

With dementia small changes in how to do things can result in failure to
do them at all.

Not strictly diy I know but there seems to be a lot of general knowledge
on here.

ISTR larger Tesco's have some and Curried PC World have then on the
shelf which might be helpful even if you pay a bit more than online.
