Help-Genesis Digital Lens

I have a Genesis Lens which I have misplaced my remote. I called Genesis and the replacement remote is a bit steep, $100. I am wondering if there is any way to power on the unit without the remote. Are there any alternatives to the factory remote?

I just want to turn my on and leave it on....

Maybe you can find an inexpensive programmable remote, $10-20 or so, and have someone local program this with their Genesis remote. I have the Genesis Time Lens and I am in Minneapolis if you are anywhere close. If you have no luck, email me and we can do this by mail.

Best bet is to get hold of the remote control codes and program them into a cheaper off the shelf programmable remote. Try getting the codes from:

or http://www.remotecentral.com/files/ind-17.htm

I think they have the Genesis listed. BTW I had the same problem with my lens when the remote ran out of battery. Seems like there is no other way but with a remote.

Even if you plan to leave always on, I have found with any power outage you will need to re-enter all your settings.
If you need another member's Genesis remote to act as source for a programmable remote (if this is practical idea) then keep me in mind, also.
I have the metal remote.
