Old UIniversal Remote

Hello, and if you don't know the 3-4 digit code applicable to your Toshiba, most universal remotes (perhaps your DIRECTV one) have a search mode. The usual procedure is to power on the device to be controlled and then use the remote to step through its stored codes until your device powers off. However, this can be very time consuming. I have a Comcast/Xfinity remote that I use both for the cable box and TV. This device was designed to control multiple devices and there was a list of device codes enclosed with the user manual. The user instructions - that documentation no one reads and often throws out ;-). Sincerely,

The dish remote does already work the TV but I would like to be able to get to the TV/VIDEO switching and the menus, mainly the picture menu. The butt ons on the TV operate very erratically.

If worse comes to worse I might have to try giving the tact switches a big douche with cleaner and bang them a bit. That is the only way I know to cle an them and it doesn't always work. The main problem is that there is no sl iding action so the won't take to cleaning like a normal switch. And there are too many types to order new.

So I am hoping the RCA remote has the functions we want.

I've got an old "learning" remote that can capture snippets of the IR signal from any remote which can then be replayed later. I bought it before availability of the 'universal' remotes which are pre-programmed with all vendors codes. I think I still have it in a box in the basement somewhere.

If your smartphone has the IR transducer hardware, you can easily find an app to turn your smartphone into a 'learning' remote.

1. I do not have a smart phone nor do I want one, nor does anyone in this house.
2. We do not have the original remote for it to learn from.

I actually have a learning remote kicking around here somewhere, it does me no good.

Have you tried ebay? There are several remotes that have 32a32 in their titles. For example:

I have nearly a dozen URCs and I've yet to find anything they work.

The one I got from Poundland pretty much does anything.
