Sounds like you picked up one of the Kameleon remotes. Remote Central recently wrote a
review of it, although I haven't read through it yet. Interesting tidbit of the morning: your new remote was produced by the same company that produced the 1050's remote (the
Catalyst 48 ). While there is about a 99% chance of there not being a pre-programmed code for the 1050 (it has UEI's latest code library, but previous libraries did not include the 1050), there are some alternatives. First, it does have some limited learning capability, although the memory is apparently pretty limited. Second, it is a JP1 capable remote, although unfortunately it appears to be a major operation to implement (jumper connector is not included), so that's not likely to actually help. Third, there was this interesting tidbit in the Remote Central review:
By phoning a 1-800 number between 9AM and 5:30PM Eastern time, customer service representatives can help track down a possible upgraded code set and send that upgrade right to your remote control over the phone – simply hold the 15-2133 up to the speaker and it downloads. This is a valuable feature, particularly for users who may have lost their original remote, but in most cases simply increasing the learning memory could cut down on the need for phone support.
