But I only have 4 of the remotes, and only 3 of those work.
Zenith boxes work good with a couple older universal remotes I have (I haven't needed new ones for several years)... I can even access all the menus.

You wouldn't happen to know the types would you? I have tons of the Zen/Insignia boxes, with the remotes. They're the best I've ever used, but the remotes suck. Tiny buttons, gray lettering on black plastic... Typically horrible modern design.
