Here you can see a universal remote control by General Electric
The remote has 3 control settings and is compatible with over 350 brands
Futures are: Tv and DVD, Menu Functions, Palm size design and also comes with a Sleep Function. For a low price of $9.99.

Well I am here to tell you that yes this remote has all of this but I hate my new remote because it doesnt work on my satilite menu/guide. But maybe its not able to do this. I thought it would. But The real problem that i have with this remote is that every single day I have to re program it and I have been doing this for about three weeks now. We just bought it about a month ago.

The real problem has really accured last week when It wont even program now. Some times it will and other times it just wont.

We now have to go and get another remote. I must say that now I will spend alittle more to get a remote that will acually work. I guess it's as the saying goes you only get what you pay for.

There's nothing worse than having to get up off the couch to buy a new remote control... except having to get up AGAIN to return it! Thanks for the heads up!

We have soooo many remotes in my house. Even the ones that "claim" to be universal, that come with equipment like the cable box, aren't really universal! Best of luck finding one that really does what it claims.

We have a different GE Universal and the Menu button does not work on mine as well as some other things I don't like either. With reading this I will definately check out another brand next time. Thanks

I can relate. I haven't found a universal remote I like, either. At least one that's reasonably priced!

Appearance-wise, it looks like something you can get out of your local 99 cents store - thanks for the info!

sorry about your experience with the remote. I agree I would pay a little more to get a better remote
