I have too many remotes in my life. No, seriously. My Samsung TV has a hard drive plugged into the USB, TopTV entering the co-ax antenna port, an old Enzer DVD player going into the component plugs and the Apple TV doing it on HDMI. That's four remotes lying on the couch within reach of the two-year-old Next Generation.

I can live without the DVD player, it only gets fired up once a month. The AppleTV looks like it can be acclimatised to a different remote without too much trouble. So the immediate priority is to unify the TV (including the Media Play of the USB drive) and the Top TV decoder.

The world of universal remotes seem to have moved from "spend all weekend educating your remote" to "download a configuration file", though. Which raises the question if a new service like TopTV will be supported.

Who can recommend a universal remote that will definitely, absolutely work with Top TV. Please, no "This should maybe work" comments. She Who Must Be Obeyed will let me buy ONE universal remote and it better work immediately. No room for experimentation here.

Thanks in advance
 
I've a query on remotes as well, which I've just finished a draft on. Will be posting it shortly, but it concerns using TOP TV remotes with the Wizard Blaster.

Sorry, but I'm also in the dark concerning Universal Remotes. :confused:
 
I have setup toptv on my logitec universal remote and have uploaded that to their website ... so you should be able to get it from their website if u getting a logitec remote.
There were and still are some problems with using the logitec remote with toptv ... sometimes when you press a key, it registers as being pressed twice ... but there was a fix for it which worked for a while but somehow its back and have not bothered to check for it again
 
I've got a Harmony 600 which I bought from Kalahari.net for R 456.95, you can control up to 5 different devices. To program the remote you connect to the internet with a small Logitech program which has thousands of profiles, if you cant find the correct profile the remote can learn codes directly from your old remote.
 
I have the cheap Harmony 300 remote, and TopTV works fine. (Configured it as the UEC something or another).
