Hi - newbie here - sorry in advance if this is in the wrong section to post this thread:
I have a Samsung HL-P4663W and am looking for a remote that can take advantage of the set's (supposed) discrete remote code feature. Two main questions:
(1) Are the Samsung HL-P4663W discrete codes available for use in the popular programmable remotes?
(2) Any programmable remote recommendations? Some more background/questions:
* The main reason for wanting to use the discrete codes - I'd like to directly select a particluar A/V input on the set (e.g. component for my DVD player) without having to use a macro to cycle through the inputs and hope to land on the right one.
* I'd like a remote with many "hard" buttons - I'm a Tivo addict and like the Tivo's remote, and would like to stick with convenient buttons that I can use w/out looking at a remote screen
* I've read about the Harmony H659, and it looks like it might work for me. However, I am a little nervous about the internet-required programming method. In programming Prontos in the past, I knew how to get a particular code into the remote; I'm not sure if the Harmony H659 will allow me the same flexibility? Also, does Logitech/Harmony offer the discrete codes for the the Samsung HL-P4663W?
