How do I get a new remote for my sansonic DTV box?

I've searched around for a code for the Sansonic Converter Box that would work with a universal remote, but no luck so far. Also, can't find a link for ordering a replacement remote because the Sansonic is so new.

Most likely there may NEVER be a universal remote for these converter boxes, because the universal remote control companies have to buy one of these to get the codes. Sadly, the market life appears to have ended, which it shouldn't have. We've only been given, what, 18 months to get these converter boxes, and over half of them have either reception, operational, or picture detail problems.

The Sansonic converter box is the product of several years of research done quite well. Are they going to let that well dry up completely? I hope they will release an updated version with more audio and video ouput choices to benefit older HDTVs.

It'll be interesting to see converter box failure rates and statistics at Consumer Reports and other ratings websites a year or two from now.
