Nice I said, LG TV Keyset 1 works with this one . Then I tried to change the Input to switch the monitor to TV mode. I am not sure, I might have pressed another key more, but suddenly the TV/Mointor was in flashing mode

After that, no matter which keyset combination we tried, we were not able to take it out of flashing mode, even with the original remote and any instructions we tried from searches in internet. I had to leave with after 1 hour of trial & error, and still have no face to give him a call and ask if he solved it.
Just had the same problem but NOT WITH PIEROGI.
On a LG M227WDP TV/Monitor i found LG TV Keyset 1 worked perfect changed inputs no probs.
Then we tried to learn a friends V Box remote to control the LG's volume. It went into a odd input (just fuzz), and showed the version number as a screen saver.
The only way to get out of it was pressing EXIT and MENU together on the original remote and then selecting another Input.
The Input key did nothing it this mode. Pulling the mains did nothing.

I guess there's possibly something odd with these LG TV/Monitor's. It can't be Pierogi's fault if a Virgin Media Remote can cause the same/similar thing!
I couldn't make Pierogi do the fault.

Added the working Virgin Media Boxes to the device wiki, thanks.

The amp that's not working is:-
Sony AV Reciever STR-DN1000 - Remote RM-AAP042
