Where to buy LG TV remote in singapore

Post by sanjumalani » Sun, 03 Aug 2014 3:54 pm

Hi
I need to buy an LG tv remote but was unable to find one at gain city / harvey norman.

The model number (tv) is 37LG60UR-TA

Please advise on where I may get this, what the approximate pricing is?

Any help on whether an iPhone app may help resolve the issue of not having a remote is much desired. Does anyone know of an app that can help me switch between channels/ tv av etc (basically substitute the need for a remote)? Is a similar app on android store as well?

No I don't think so. It is at least 5-6 years old.

E-mail the local LG service agent.

toa payoh central... hum... in the blocks beside HDB hub, there's a store that sells remote controls. much, much cheaper than buying them from the AD. let me find the block and get back to you.

(or you could get a universal remote)

Can't use smartphones, then... they require a wireless connection to act as remotes.

I thought you needed your original remotes, to programme a single universal remote?

Not needed for a lot of them. My Logitech Harmony One didn't need one as it as over 225,000 units in it's database (online). I'm sure that there are lots of cheaper units that have similar capabilities, but probably not the Harmony One's ability to control up to 15 different devices from a single unit. (mine only controls 6 at the moment). Check out buying it from the US or the UK though as it used to sell for almost double what it sold for in the US. Plug it into a USB port on your PC and program it online from their database and Bob's yer Uncle.

One reason why universal remotes were invented was to replace lost ones.
