SAME PROBLEM HERE!!!!! I've tried programming three different universal remotes to the k2001um television and .....NOTHING! Searches turned up nothing much. And when i finally found the tv in the US is was discontinued on every site I visited. However if you don't mind spending the money to purchase the remote control then you can visit www.remotes.com. They have a remote control that they say will work for this television. They charge nearly fifty bucks for it though. Quite frankly that's to much for me. I think I'll just pawn the darn thing and buy another TV. Just thought I'd let you guys know that there is one out there if your willing to spend that kind of money for it. By the way, they offer a money back gaurantee and one year warranty. GOOD LUCK!
