Detailing brands and model numbers really facilitates people give 
focussed answers and is unreasonable (IMO) to expect people to give 
speculative answers to cover a wide range of scenarios.  Kit to cover 
includes PC, remotes, and screens / TV's brand and model numbers.  URLs 
to manuals are also a courtesy.

Its a perennial frustration....
