Hi folks,
I just got my 5900, and I'd like to get a universal remote for it. I'm currently using an One For All 8017, and it controls the 5900 quite well, the only things it can't do is the PVR functions. Well I can set a PVR event via the guide, but I can't pause or rewind live TV or a recorded program, and since my 8017 is starting to fail (it's fallen one to many times), I'd like to get a new one, preferably one that can perform all the of the PVR functions.
I'm considering getting the One For All 8811, which doesn't not officially control a PVR, but it's a learning remote, so I assume that I can program the 5900's PVR commands. Has any one tried this? I'm also looking at the 9911, but again it is not officially a PVR remote. Keep in mind that I do not want to spend more the $50 or so (which is a pain given the 9911 is $80).
Thanks!
