WD TV HD Media Player - Replacement Remote

Thread Starter 
Hi -

I've lost my remote and was wondering if anyone has had any luck getting the WD HD Media Player to work with another remote.

Ideally I'd like to have my satellite remote (a 5.0 IR from dish network) be able to control the WD HD Media Player. Has anyone had any luck with doing this?

Thanks.

My WDTV works flawlessly (better than the original remote) with my Harmony remote.

If you don't have one, you should look into them!

I have all the codes in a Universal Remote File. If that's of any help PM me and I'll send you the file. Regards, Norm

I'll second the Harmony option. I have a Harmony 880 and it works much better than the original. Harder to lose too!

You can order the replacement WD remote from the WD Online Store for $15

Code:

Media Center PC   Western Digital    WD TV HD Media Player
A good place to poke around is http://myremotesetup.com/EasyZapper/New/Main.asp when you need to find out what is supported.
