The J battery is a weird one, and was only used in those early 80s Zeniths. You can still get them at Radio Shack, and in the photo & electronics section of WalMart or Target, etc. But the battery was about $9 last time I checked, so you might be better off just using the universal. And unless you have a SpacePhone in your set (and want to use the SpacePhone), all functions of the TV will work fine with the universal.
On the TV keyboard, you can put channels in memory by keying the channel and pressing ENTER on the TV keyboard. Note that they will not stay in "favorite channel" memory if you key them in by the remote. And to get rid of ones you don't want, go to that channel and push SKIP. Most Cable TV signals around here are "STD" setting, but you can play with that switch and see which position gets the most channels for you. The AFC is also an experiment. First set it as FIXED, and see if some channels have no color or no sound, or are out of tune. If so, go to SEARCH AFT and see if that's better. The FIXED position makes the channels change much quicker though, if it works in your neighborhood.
