I am looking to purchase a new remote control as the one issued by my cable provider (comcast) is unable to control my new Memorex sound bar (Model: MIHTS3202) which is now controlling all my TV audio. Huge inconvenience to use two remotes, one for sound, one for EVERYTHING else. Can anyone recommend a good remote that will be able to control my Scientific America cable box, Samsung television, and Memorex sound bar? Just a few notes to keep in mind- I use the OnDemand feature a lot, so I need to be able to control play/pause/etc in that feature and. I'd like to keep the cost under $50 if that is possible!Thanks so much!
I hate to tel you this, but your going to be stuck with the 2 remotes. Comcast remotes are pre programmed for tvs and the boxs only. when you start messing with the audio add on's, it tends to get a litlle tricky. but if you would like to try one, see about getting the AR Xsight advanced or AR Xsight Touch Advanced universal remotes
It will be more than $50 but the Harmony Logitech remotes are known to handle a huge number of devices. Mine is a few years old but it has the skip forward/back/pause/record/etc buttons to control our DVR. At one time it controlled our standard def Sat DVR and the HD cable box DVR as well. These remotes often have extra keys so you can assign one of these for your On Demand button. But they run about $120 - but well worth the price.
