Chemtronics "Rubber Keypad Repair Kit" available at digikey.com and many
other places. Do NOT use rear defroster grid repair compound. This will
repair buttons if they are truly "worn out", but most of the problems
with replay remote come from moisture and oily grease condensing on the
pads. A quick swabbing with alcohol is frequently all that is needed.
Almost all universal remotes have replay codes. There are a couple of
buttons that usually have to be mapped manually so make sure the remote
has programming capabilities. Other that that it is a style and personal
preference issue.

My absolute favorite remote control is made by "ONE FOR ALL".
The model number is URC 6131. I paid $21.99 at Best Buy a couple
months ago.

Amazon has it for $13.99 with free shipping for orders over $25.

I love the replaytv remote, but I almost like this one better.
It has color coded keys and is perfect size and heft.

This is great buy in my opinion.
