I bought a couple of these from eBay: UNIVERSAL MINI MICRO SPY REMOTE TV CONTROL There are many suppliers to choose from, cost is only a buck or two. It is a 7 button remote control, uses a CR2025/CR2032 battery, and has a keyring chain attached. BUT the how to use it description on eBay is WRONG! It says to hold the mute button down for 5 secs then release. This won't work. You have to hold the button down continuously until your TV recognises the mute, then release the button quickly. I set mine up to use the SONY protocol so it works with PICAXE chips and the MicroMite.
