I think you would have to use the JP1 remote programming techniques to make it work, since you would have to add codes that didn't exist when the 1050 was built. For menu settings on the TV that aren't used on a regular basis, I would consider that at lot of effort for little benefit. As for the Apple Remote, I agree that those codes will not be in the remote. Again, you'd have to count on the JP1 programming to add them. See this site for JP1 info.
