Your TV's, and your Remote Controls. « on: July 28, 2026, 12:23:39 AM » Author: suzukir122
Got a TV and a remote control? Post pics of them here! I've got two TV's... both of my TVs seem to use identical remotes. And oddly enough, both remotes work with either TV. The right remote came with my 50 inch TV downstairs. The left remote came with my 75 inch TV in the loft. With the TV downstairs, you simply press the power button and the TV will shut off. The TV upstairs is different though... you have to press and hold the power button to shut that TV off. If you press the power button, it will switch to screensaver mode. Anyways, this thread has been edited... I'll post close up pics of both of my TV's soon.

I currently have AT&T, Vizio and Amazon Firestick.  I do have DVD player control, but I have not been using for long time.

I have a little different setup of TVs (pictures attached). I have 3 CRT TVs, of which two are black & white, and one is color. I've also got one universal remote. Currently all TVs get their signal with one antenna cable coming from a Sony VCR which also has two Scart inputs (one comes from PC and other one from DVD player).

@Mr Lamp, that's awesome and also nostalgic as well! Old school... I've thought about buying a CRT TV and seeing if I could get signal to it as well somehow, but the biggest reason why I've gone against doing that is because I've had doubts that I'd be able to successfully get signal to it, though I've also thought about getting a larger CRT TV to play old school video games on it with friends. (Nintendo 64, for example.) And of course, watching old school movies through VCR would also be epic! Maybe someday I'll be able to do this as well. I should be able to post pictures of my current TV's, sometime later today.

The first one is an Insignia 50 inch Smart TV. The second one upstairs is a 75 inch Hisense smart TV. Unfortunately I forgot the model and the specs of both, but I will look them both up and reveal that bit of info here soon. I do know that the Hisense is definitely much higher quality than the Insignia... And yep... all of my T12's were on in both photos.

I have 3 TVs, one is a 65" samsung qled smart TV, next is my old 2010s 32" Samsung (non smart TV) and third is a sony bravia TV with built in PS2! (Integrated in the stand). I lost the remote for the old ones. I also have the remotes for a panasonic blu-ray player and a sony cd/dvd player. I also have a remote for the amazon firestick (using in the 32" TV) There's also remotes for dish TV set-top boxes which I have. I also had a few CRTs but all are in storage now, remotes too. I'll add in the pics and model numbers soon Sony TV model: KDL22PX300

@LightsAreBright27, that built in PS2 TV sounds very interesting. Definitely looking forward to seeing it, as well as the remote!

What you do if your television doesn't have A/V inputs is you get a coax patch cable and an RF modulator(it's a little box that will usually say RF MODULATOR somewhere on it and have a switch labeled "3/4" or "Channel 3/4" and a light labeled "MOD. ON" Last time i Went to the goodwill they had 2).  You take the patch cable and hook that to the RF out of the modulator and the VHF or antenna input of the TV. And then you plug the source uou want to use into the video and audio inputs of the modulator, and plug the modulator into the wall. Then turn on the TV and tune it to channel 3. If you get no signal, flip the channel switch on the modulator.

I like math, lighting, computers and electronics(but I detest pointless ruinage of nice old stuff). LEDs should be better thought out. they are actually quite good if they are good quality. They should be built to a long life not to a cheap price!

I have couple TVs with only RF input. The Sony VCR is used as the RF modulator here.

I found most of my remotes. Samsung 65" TV remote, Amazon fire stick (two of them) , tata sky dish tv box remote (black and grey), Samsung 32" TV remote. But unfortunately I couldn't find the sony bravia ps2 TV remote. So I put a stock image of what the sony remote looked like. If I find the actual remote ill post it

@LightsAreBright27, yep, the second and the fifth remote look somewhat identical to both of mine. It's awesome seeing these, and definitely awesome seeing what the Sony Bravia PS2 TV remote looks like. Hopefully you're able to find it soon, and also, hopefully you'll be able to test it out to see if it works on your Sony Bravia TV! I look forward to seeing the pictures of those three TV's as well!

@suzukir122 I finally found the remote! Its very worn out and missing the battery cover but still works As for the PS2 part, they were just normal controllers.
