pretty much any universal remote will work as most will generate the rc-5
protocol. i've got a rat-shack 8-in-1 that i'm pretty happy with. before
shopping, you might also want to look into jp1: http://www.hifi-remote.com/
- you could select a factory rc-5 code or with a jp1 remote, create your
own, including "shifted" keys. oh, the possibilities. the one catch, you
need windoze to program them (and maybe a cheat sheet until you learn where
you put all the functions!)
