Is there such thing as a multi purpose remote?

Question

For example is there a remote controller that i can use for my TV, Sky and PS3 in the same remote? If so where can i get one?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

They are called Universal remote controls and they go from $10-$15 to hundreds of dollars (or pounds).

Make sure you buy a Learning remote. This way, even if it does not have all the codes you can "teach it" the codes you want.

Answer 2

You can get a one-for-all remote control. It would allow you to operate your TV, video, Sky, HiFi system and DVD players.

However you can not get one that works with your PS3 because things like TV's and Sky require IR to receive commands but the PS3 uses Bluetooth
