The 4D image has a feature that allows you to change the code so you can use any of the other TM Linux remote controls but it is not present in any other image, not that it would make much of a difference financially wise as they are all sold for the same amount.
Personally I would spend a little more, and buy a Logitech harmony universal remote, something like a 600 or 650, they are infinitely better than any standard remote and can be configured to work with just about any thing.
