You could try contacting the manufactuer of the Television for a genuine replacement for the remote control unit. They range in price greatly from £10 to £100 (believe it or not) however so depending on the TV you have it could be quite costly.
Otherwise Logitech universal remotes are amazing (if quite expensive) and may well do the trick for you, take a look at their website for more info.

Sadly, some of the cheaper-end TVs do not have compatible remote codes. BEKO (made in Turkey) is one such example. I suspect that this may be the problem. Why not try this link?

Hope this helps.

I'd say the same as mariusz360, it's the remote that's not compatable and is the problem not the 'sold as seen' TV.

You should go with Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote with Color Touchscreen Easy Internet-based setup and live customer support Dedicated on-screen activity buttons Color LCD touch screen Contoured backlit buttons Can learn IR codes from existing remote controls

Different brands work better. We got one from Target that one of the tech guys recommended and it works very well. Take that one back.

Did you put batteries in the remote?
