    Got one from Buy.com for $8.

    Works better than I expected as it controls every function of my TV.

    First code I entered worked perfect too.

    1 push favorite buttons are very handy.

    Very happy with this remote.

    Yeah, I believe this is the SRU4105, in which case I got one in October free after cashback. It works fine, and the presets are great for those four-digit channels, but $13 is comparatively pricey.

    Got one for $8. Works great at controlling 3 different units. Save me the trouble of replacing with original remote.

    I just got around to trying to fully program mine and I withdraw saying it's nice. The manual says you can store the "-" or "." in favorite channel macros but it does not work. So you cannot program digital channels. There's no reason for them to have put any limitation on which keys could go in these, they could have been any kind of macro... but by leaving out the "-" key they really messed up and that's why they've been dumping these.

    OK I learned the "-" to the Ent key and used that to program digital favorites. Now functionally decent for $7.50 but not for $13 that's for sure. The remote also fails to learn some commands from other remotes for no apparent reason, fortunately not the ones I needed most.

    These were on Woot last week during the Woot-off. I think it's a stupid idea, to be frank. Stickers on your remote...

    #9, it works with my digital channels using the TV's built in QAM tuner. Just put the 3 digits in and you're done.

    #11, the stickers are the best part. Otherwise, you don't know the channel allocation. And #9, I meant leave off the ".". You can still get these through Amazon Marketplace for $10 shipped. I ordered one yesterday.
