ebay sky+ remote

tipptom

i got a new one on ebay as old one was sticking,the first one they sent me was giving trouble rushing on ff and channel selection and i emailed them and told them what was wrong they said its one out of a bad batch and to be fair they sent another out straight away,this one has lost the volume,text and the terrestial tv facility and jumps ahead about 4 channels when lightly pressed and ff and rewind get stuck at times,question is should i have just bought the one in dunnes stores for 40e instead of being greedy and going for the ebay 15e or is the situation redeemable,

you could get one here in Ireland at a decent price

I bought this one from Amazon (42 5star ratings) and it works perfectly, plus it's cheaper: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sky-HD-Official-Remote-Control/dp/B000UX6VKU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288957360&sr=8-1

Also, since it's a HD control i think it personally looks nicer. You can get it to work on your Sky+ box by doing the following:

Press TV, hold Select & i together until the LED light flashes twice, press 1 then Select.

yea,went on that site and ordered and when i had it ordered,they added 9e for shipping so i cancelled.

€9!!! Sure that's bloody more than the control itself :eek:

^ No probs mate, glad to help.

I bought another one myself last week just to have as a spare. Bought it on the Friday afternoon and it was delivered to me on Monday morning, couldn't believe how quickly it arrived!! Works perfect as well.
