|
|
I used to be able to "round up" for All-for-one remotes for my needs for about $7 in small quantities. Those are gone.
Does anyone know a source for some inexpensive JP1 remotes? I need new remotes, ready to program, and I just need to program 4 buttons so I need (want) cheap remotes.
I use these in lieu of manufacturing my own remote. I have a low volume product I need a remote for, it costs me about $25/remote to have them made in 200's. I'd rather be buying remotes in 10's and 20's.
Thanks,
Scott |

There are many small lots of comcast JP1 remotes on ebay all the time for as little as $4 each. If you could contact the suppliers of the cable companies, you may even be able to get a better deal. Perhaps contact UEI directly. |

I should have said, I need a remote with no branding (e.g. "Comcast"). Generic branding OK (e.g. OneForAll).
I really need a more reliable source that eBay. I tried the UEI route before, unless you are buying 5,000 they aren't interested in helping. I can make 5000 myself, the point of going JP1 is to keep cost down with lower volume purchases. But I need to have a consistent unit, so eBay ins' ta good path unless there's a popular unit that "fits" that's regularly available. |

Well, those are the cheapest I've seen. What about rubbing out the brand with nail polish remover, or better yet, covering it with a sticker of your own brand?
I understand the need for consistency, but models go out of production every few years. So consistency is going to be difficult.
Another person I spoke with recently, also using remotes with his product, ended up using simple, cheap, learning remotes like this in lieu of JP1:
