   On ebay I found someone who sells universale remotes that he has   
   programmed for specific devices.   They aren't univesal anymore and they   
   don't come with instructions how to make them universal or any other   
   model. I think I found it just by googling the model number, but on ebay   
   where I didn't expect them.   
      
   One time I think he wrote me that he was going to stop because he was't   
   making enough money anymore.  I said  Raise your price.   He still would   
   have been cheaper then new old stock.  (It occurs to me now that I only   
   know about my particular make and model, and I presume he sold many   
   different models.)  I don't know what he decided to do.  He had one   
   location in the USA and one in England, I think it was.
