We rely on the remote control manufacturer programming in codes for all current models. In Wittman's case, there doesn't appear to be a suitable code.

Ideally TV manufacturers would stick to codesets that already exist, then we wouldn't have this problem. But sadly they don't.

As you say, Goodmans are especially problematic as they rebadge other brands.<snip>
Thanks for the clarification sp. Goodmans and LG were always the hardest to pin down.
