Hi All,
FYI, I bought the philips SRU 4008/27 universal remote and just wanted people to know that it can learn all the MCE remote codes. It's a bit finicky, but if you follow the instructions as to how to teach the codes then you'll be successful.
I can now control my TV, cable box, VCR and GBPVR from one remote...it even learned the power button from the MCE. I designated the DVR button to control GBPVR.
The remote is decent, with back light and a glow in the dark backlight button. The only thing I can complain about is that the buttons are a bit mushy and that it doesn't seem to respond as quickly as the real remote.
I paid $20 CAD at Wal-mart.
Cheers,
Jam.z
