Using the ReplayTV remote with a Vizio L37 HDTV

So, this is perhaps a sad topic for a blog post, but I thought I'd share some potentially-useful info with folks.

I just got a new LCD TV, the Vizio L37HDTV, and wanted to re-program my ReplayTV 5xxx remote to work with it. I couldn't find the device code on ReplayTV's support site or elsewhere, but after trying a few codes, I found one that works: 0030
Incase you've not programmed your remote for a while, here's the info from ReplayTV's support site:
  • Press and hold the Mute + TV buttons for 2 seconds.
  • The remote LED will flash twice
  • Enter 0030
  • That's it! You should be able to use the Power and Volume buttons to control the L37HDTV...

Thanks for spelling out the programming steps! 0030 worked for my new Vizio, except for Mute. But 0178 (which I got from another site) worked for Mute also. So I'm a very happy camper.
