Try this site if you have the model number and manufacturer of your universal remote control.

You should try replacing the remote by buying a Logitech Harmony remote which you can then program to work your Xemix. It works really well for me. Alternatively if you can't get a dvd remote, try to get a TV control for a Loewe Xelos TV which has a DVD mode just for the Xemix dvd player.

No this is not true. you can purchase wired controllers for the PS3 usually at a greatly reduced price than the wireless models. Most larger PS3 retailers should have stock of wired control pads so it would pay to do some more ringing around

Hope this has helped
