I don't know if they'll do all of them, but the database is massive and I'd look at the Logitech Harmony range;

I have a look it seems hard to find just one remote to do all some i can replace but very expensive one can only try.

Re: Universal remote help search

I own the 555 and it's a great piece of kit.
You can find them cheaper if you scout around. I think I paid £50 for it, which is not too bad, imo.

The other thing is their customer support is excellent, so if you get in touch, they'll tell you exactly which ones you will or won't be able to control.

Re: Universal remote help search

Harmony is the way to go, imho.

Even if you have some kit that is not on their massive database - get a remote that can "learn" from your original remote control. A bit of effort but the rewards are well worth it.

I even got mine to learn the codes for a green-i remote dimmer switch - fantastic.
