Yesterday I bought probably my fifth universal remote only to return it
an hour later !! These remotes don't work - I don't care what the
paperwork that comes with it says !! Is there a way to know for sure
what brand universal remotes work best with what products ??

moonlite:
Use the original factory remote to easily get all the dedicated functions
available on your equipment.
If you must have a universal remote, stay away from the cheapies for $15 or
less. Usually if you get the better remotes like "One for All" and some of
the Radio Shack more expensive remotes you will have a better chance of
success..... however, the factory original remotes are the only way to go.

" These remotes don't work"

Think about that statement for a minute. Isnt it more likely that:

(1) The device you're trying to control has a bad remote sensor.
(2) You didnt follow the programming instructions correctly.
(3) You got tired of pressing the ON button 347 times to try each
code.
(4) You blew by the setting that turns on your device.
(5) You have an empty beer can, or a half-eaten Subway sandwitch, or a
smear of ketchup in front of the TV's remote control sensor.

some remotes work on some things
and not ther other.

I agree. I had one that I tried for someone once that would not work with
that particular set. To make sure, I went down the list in the manual,
copied ALL the codes into Excel, sorted in order, pulled out all the
duplicates, and then went down the list in order, one by one. No dice.
Tried another remote and it worked fine.

Never had a problem with the basic controls of a set.
Ask one of the kids to set it up for ya!
They can be confusing. : - )
