    Default Converter Box With No Remote

    Could you post just a little bit more information. For example, what brand and model box is this? If I recall correctly, some can do just about anything without the remote control, but on the other hand, some can't do much of anything without the remote control.

    Check Walmart / Kmart, / Target, etc. they have several Universal remotes (under $10 for most) that say they are compatible with converter boxes.

    Make sure they state on the package that they are compatible with converter boxes, and manufactured after 2009.

    It's possible that one of these sources may be able to help you, in many instances, they have Originals...

    I hope you find something. I mentioned just a few minutes ago in another post that I gave away a DTVPAL without the remote not long ago. The gal emailed me and I just laughed. I'd totally forgotten about it. I had it, just completely forgot to include it. Are you sure the person who gave it to you doesn't have it and just forgot like I did?
