Looking for a universal remote, anybody got a good one to sell?

I got a Sony DVP-NS999ES but no remote.

If not, how about some ideas on a new one.

thanks

    MerLuv was selling some Nevo SL universal remote in the FM; looked like a nice remote.

    Never heard of something like that. So, do you have to use your computer as the 'remote', or do you just use your computer to program the remote?

    I have one of these:

    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6833055&type=product&id=1091102296705

    Used for about one week. I bought a Yamaha RX-V1500 the following week, and I liked the universal remote that came with it better, so I put the Samsung back in the box.

    $30 shipped?

    WHY IS IT SO HARD (FOR ME ANYWAY) TO FIND INFORMATION ON THIS REMOTE? DO YOU KNOW THE EXACT MODEL NUMBER? IS IT XXX2000 REMOTE? SAMSUNG'S SITE SUCKS

    Just my 2 cents here....I have a Harmony and cannot think there might be a remote out there that could make me happier. I can do everything I need with all the components I own....

    For a reasonably reliable, easy to use, very affordable universal remote that will work with damn near every piece of equipment that has IR.. look at the Logitech 'Harmony'...

    Search for it on www.newegg.com

    use pricegrabber.com to find the best deals. Looks like the 688 will handle everything except the toughest assignments

    Hoosier,

    It is a SAM2000. I just did a search, couldn't find much info, but I did find ComputerGeeks has it for $27 shipped. That's less than half what I paid, dambit. They do have better pics:

    I'll revise my price to $20 shipped. It is basically brand new, in the box with manual etc.

    Hey Hoosier, I have a Harmony I would part with. I am trying to find the model #. I think I paid 90 for it and I would sell it for 50 if they have not gone down drastically since I bought it some 6 months ago.


    It's a Harmony sst-768, Looks like the lowest price I could find was 55 shipped. I will ship it out to you for 40 bucks.

    If Hoosier doesn't want it the offer is good all.

    Thanks,

    Brad
