Controlling Amstrad Sky box with Samsung TV Remote

Hi,

I'm new so hope this thread is in the right forum!

I've just brought a Samsung LCD and Home Theatre and now have remote control overload!

I have a BN59-00603A Samsung remote that has a STB select button and I'd like to use it to control my Amstrad DRX400 Sky box. Does anybody have the codes? Samsung don't nor does Sky and Amstrad won't speak to me!

Does anybody know?

Thanks,
Craig

AFAIK the Samsung remote cant control the SKY+ box.

Re: Controlling Amstrad Sky box with Samsung TV Remote

There are very few TV remote controls that will control Sky boxes of any type. Most people use the Sky remote to control the TV as well or use Universal remotes such as the Chameleon to control many items.

Re: Controlling Amstrad Sky box with Samsung TV Remote

Thanks Dave, that's my other issue - I can't get the sky remote to turn the volume up on my home theatre kit (HT-THX-22R), it'll do the TV sound but I don't want it to as I have the sound on the TV turned off. Sky gave me a couple of codes but neither worked.

I guess a universal remote is the way to go?

Cheers,
Craig
