    Universal Remote Control

    Hello.

    I want to ask about the universal remote controls available in the market here, would they work with the NowTV box for a simple channel up/down purpose?

    Thanks

    learning remotes can copy any infra red remotes, i have copied twice for now tv remote, however, learning remotes starts from HK$500 plus to HK$4000 or comes as standard with high end home cinema amplifiers

    universal remotes (pre programmed) may not have now tv function as now tv is unknown outside of hk.

    however, after a quick search on yahoo auctions

    universal remote from china ( normal priceHK$400 plus)
    going for HK$180 ( sadly only in chinese)

    My Logitech Harmony 525 works great with NowTV. It does have the functions pre-programmed on it. You need to use the Logitech software on a computer to set-up the devices you want to use. I bought this in HK a couple of years ago for about $600 and its still working great.
