Type your answer here... They would logically analyze the current status of the device (on, off, loud, soft, channel #, etc.) and compare that result to the desired status of said device, at which point they would deduce the actual steps required to achieve the objective. They would then tell their kid to walk across the room and perform the indicated procedure for them! This is sometimes referred to as "The good old days".
They turned them by the knobs on the t.v.
1) IrDA devices have built-in error checking; remote controls usually do not have this feature. 2) Remote controls work at greater distances. 3) Remote controls are unidirectional, but IrDA devices are bidirectional.
It seems Sky remote controls are easily programmable. Here is a site that will help you program you're Sky remote to any television: http://www.sky.com/helpcentre/tv/remote-controls/operate-tv-with-sky-remote/

In this remote, the little LED light that controls the remote will emit the infra red spectrum. You will not see the light but the control will work.

One of the top names in universal remote controls is the Harmony remote, by Logitech. This remote can be programed to work with your PC, as well as all your audio visual components.
Yes, most TV brands' remotes only work exclusively with the brand that made them. If you wanted to use a different remote on every TV, I suggest you look into a universal remote.
Sky remote controls are very easy to use. They are universal, and can connect to any TV, DVD/VCR player, or DVD recorder. They will work with absolutely anything, and they are easy to read as well.
Remote controls for televisions are so commonplace now that it's hard to imagine televisions without them. Many televisions today need a remote control to perform much of the configuration functions so they are a vital part of the television. There was a time when televisions didn't have remote controls of any time. It was during the 1970s that the very first remote controls were introduced. Before that time, a handful of channels could be selected using mechanical switching so remote controls weren't an option. As tuning became fully electronic, some very basic remote controls were included on some larger televisions. The very first remotes used a single button to scroll through the channels. Although some used infra red, most were ultra sonic, emitting sound pulses in excess of 30KHz (the limit of hearing is around 18 - 20Khz). Infra red remote controls were introduced during the 1980s and since then, have grown in complexity to become the full function systems we know today.
with a GE 4-way universal remote (24944), 8225 & 8181 will work with power and changing channel, etc. It won't however work with the volume controls/mute/etc.
It varies form manufacturer to manufacturer. Besides, most TV remote controls work on infrared light signals, pulsed at a specific rate to match the programmed processor in your TV.
We have various types of codes for our remote controls. Our remotes are not guaranteed to work all types of equipment, but the codes allow our remotes to work a different type of equipment like a TV, DVD Player, Sound System, etc... In addition to our receivers.
