I have a Home Theatre thingy; its not a brilliant one, but it does the job. However, the remote has stopped working (NOT the remotes fault - visitors, coke, kids etc....).

I contacted the manufacturer, asking for the RC5/RC5x codes for the Remote, with the idea that I could buy a nice new universal remote and program it with codes. However, I'm having a lot of trouble finding one that will allow me to do that.

Am I trying to do something that is simply not possible? Why can I not buy a universal remote and program it that when i press ^ (up arrow) it sends the RC5 code System-22, Command-63?

Any replies or info would be well appreciated (even ones that start - you stupid boy.....).
