Age Concern Universal remote

The old folks have acquired an age concern JUMBO remote control (bit of a gimmick but also good for the eyes). The trouble is they have a cheap technika TV from tesco and the manual doesnt contain a code for TVs. I've tried the auto search etc but cant get it going.

Anybody manged to get one of these working with this make.

    Technika is not a 'make', it's just a Tesco brand-the TV's are sourced from numerous panel suppliers, which is why spares or repairs are rarely possible with these.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I wil, try the Philips ones tonight and see what happens.

    They bought the "genuine" remote when Halfords were selling off their age concern products a month or so ago.

    Perhaps you should complain to the makers about their use of the word "universal"?
