Just a small correction: The name is "One for All", not "all-for-one." Any
human would figure it out in a store, but you might miss them if you did
certain types of online searches. The company Web site is
http://www.ofausa.com. These remotes are actually made by Universal
Electronics (UEI; http://www.uei.com), and they're also available under
various other brand names, Radio Shack being the most common. Some remotes
sold with other equipment, distributed by cable companies, and so on are UEI
remotes. Most (maybe all) UEI remotes either have JP1 connectors or can be
modified to include them, enabling computer-based programming of the
remote -- but the tools for doing the programming are crude, so you shouldn't
count on doing this unless you're prepared to invest some time and effort.
