Toshiba 42WP16 replacement remote needed, Toshiba won't sell me one, any ideas ? I'd sooner get a genuine replacement than a one for all (largely cos I've got one already, and you can't access the setup with it)

My man is checking and will be back to me soon...

As an alternative to a One4All try a Phillips Pronto.

It allows you to download fully featured remote control maps that should allow access to all features of the TV.

One4All doesn't work properly (see above) you have to manually enter all the codes. Which it then forgets
We've got Crestrons, but I wouldn't want one in the gym $$$s, a Pronto might be the way forward, but it's overkill for one telly and one B&O PoS (which it might not work with anyway)

Yep - we've got a Pronto - very good. You need the NiCads and recharging base though..

It's withstood a remarkable amount of wine being poured in it

Sounds buggered! I've had none of those problems with mine (and its updatable via phone/pc speaker, so no messing around with pressing millions of little buttons). The only problem I've had is that I need to have the butt-ugly version which is the only one they do capable of controlling a Telewest Digital box .

Do you have an iPaq?

You can get a pronto emulator that does exactly the same thing but on an iPaq.

But then you do need an IR CF card...

Possible solution-Use the Crestron's IR blaster to change the TV settings when nec. and get the smallest, cheapest one4all they do to change channels ? Wonder if there's a splashproof version (Jon dropped my mobile in the pool, I'm a bit sensitive about having anything valuable down there now) ?

Mrsd, I've tried to e mail you, but to no avail. Can you e mail me please? I might be able to help.
**EDIT** just got confirmation. Blimey, that was some delay.

There is a place in Mansfield that can order the correct remote for you. They take 4 - 6 weeks to arrive from Japan if they haven't already got one on stock.
We got one from there for our new JVC telly when it turned up without remote and JVC refused to sell us one direct (its a long story)

Any recent panasonic remote will do - if you have sky code 0151 will control it. Good choice of telly btw

How long did it take then to stop laughing when you told them how it was 'dropped'

Hope you're feeling better though.

Funnily enough I didn't quite make a full and frank disclosure on that one Hurts like buggery (err) today, going to the doctors later
