I have a dilemma. My mom has a sony bravia tv which absolutely will not work with Logitech and google wireless remotes, keyboards, etc.So, when she types in searches for youtube videos, it takes forever on our stupid remote. So I'd like to buy her a universal remote that has a keyboard built in, no usb "dongle" plugs needed. Just an old fashioned tv code to set it. I found this, but it has a usb plug that makes it work:
Now again, I know there are usb plugs on bravia tv's, but officially, nothing will work except a sony vaio laptop or droid app for a tablet or phone. Except maybe a universal remote that happens to have a keyboard.
I know if she had a droid or iphone, she could use the media remote app, but she likes her regular old fashioned basic cell phone.
So, do universal remotes, like normal remotes for tvs without any usb plugs, have keyboards built in? If you know of one, please let me know!
Added (1). All remotes that come up from searching "universal remote with keyboard" are usb equipped, not regular remotes. Please answer if you know what I'm talking about.
