My pre-historic Hummy is still working fault free but, as is common, the Remote has become somewhat unreliable.
Over the years, I've dismantled and cleaned it a few times, but several buttons eventually became iredeemably non-functional.
So, despite knowing they are reputed not to be programmable for operating TV, DVD, Audio, I knowingly bought a cheapo clone one for under a fiver.
As expected, it performs admirably for all the Hummy functions and, of course, I did actually try to get it to work with my TV. But, neither the published codes nor cycling through the stored codes worked ......
........ However, in a last ditch effort, I started manually coding from 001 upwards and, lo, at 006, my TV turned Off!
Wouldn't turn on, though
However, once turned On by other means, the clone Remote happily performed every other TV function eg Volume, Source, Channel etc.
Well happy
