| You could buy a universal remote that "SHOULD" work with any TV. Or if you can't find one that will work with yours (like I couldn't) you can buy an OEM at »www.partstore.com

Yeap, Walmart. You can get a One-For-All remote there that will do a great job as a replacement for $10-15. Something like these:

The type of TV may be really important here. What type of TV and the model would be helpful in finding the best option.
There are often special functions that that a universal won't be able to do. Convergence comes to mind.
How long have you had the TV?
Was is missing the remote when you purchased?
Broken? Lost? Dog ate it? |

The problem you'll have with Universal type remotes, is you may lose the ability to get into the setup menus on the TV. Let me know what your current remote, the broken one, looks like or a model number. I have two remotes for Philipps/Magnavox (wife and I each had one on each side of the room, don't ask... LOL) that belonged to a TV that recently died. They both work perfectly, and could use a new home.  |

Oh, OK, I'm sorry, the ones I have aren't even close. That looks like it has a number of different buttons for functions that my set didn't have. Oh well, I tried.  You may have to either go with an OEM or as someone else suggested, one of the higher-end Universals, but they can get pretty pricey. |
