i've got a general question about these "learning" remotes. would it
be useful for controlling a VCR where i don't have the original remote
to learn off of?  see i got this VCR real cheap-like, but it didn't
come with a remote.

or would i be better off with a preprogrammed one, assuming i could
find one that "knows" about my VCR?

thanks,
