Universal remotes come with a code list. You type a code into the remote and it knows what to do.

You need to put the two of them together. Don't push them in each other's face right away. Let them take their time to accept each other. Eventually, the tv will come to accept the remote control.

You can control your TV with any programmable infrared transmitting device.

Don't know, google it. I'm sure it's pretty device-dependent, unless a company makes a program for multiple platforms.
