try maplin, theirs two of them in dublin. This link should give you an idea of the price.

Try the pound shop in Nutgrove (or equivalent), they have two options;
1. the cheap one (4 devices)
2. The dear one (8 devices).

I bought the dear one for 3 euro... works a dream.

Dear one for 3 euro? OMG. I paid E17.99 for mine and it only does 4 FFS.
Where is nutgrove?

I saw them few days ago in Pound City (Moore Street, Off Henry st) and in '2 Euro shop' (across Marks & Spencer back entrance). It costs around 3 Euro and works fine for me.

I got a 12-in-one remote in euro² in the square a while ago for €2, it's not the most erganomic/stylish thing ever, but what do ye expect for €2. It works fine though.

Rathfarnham on the south side of Dublin.

I believe there is a chain of these "pound" or "2 euro" shops.

Dubal

uum

Is there any of these stores in the grafton st, stephens green, harcourt st area?
I really need one but cant get off work long enough to get to these places. Oh ya plus the fact i dont know anyplace around dublin at all!!

Would anyone be kind enough to pick one up for me if there arent?

I got 2 in the Pound shop and they were rubbish!
The best ones I've seen (and bought) were in Aldi or Lidl (can't remember which).
It was an 8 in 1 and cost 6.99.
Brilliant quality and since bought some more for the family.
The only problem is you have to wait until they have them in stock!

uum

Yera i might just use that one i paid 20 quid for. I havnt opened it yet so i was planning on taking it back but if ye say the cheap ones are rubbish then maybe i'll be better off with this one. Still 20 quid for a 4 in 1 is crazy money. Got ripped off there. ITs not even a good brand name. Prob no better than then pound shop ones.

Are all these remotes mentioned the ones which work with almost every telly under the sun, and have a list of manufacturers codes to enter?

Any of them a learning remote? I would be interested in getting a remote that I can program with the most frequently used functions from the TV, DVD and Sky Remotes...

The one I got in either Aldi or Lidl is brilliant and for 6.99 Euro about 1/2 or 1/3 the price of ones elsewhere that are not as good.
It's an 8 in 1.
Does TV, VCR, DVD, SAT, TUNER, CD, and 2 others I can't remember.
Easy to programme but as said before, have to wait for Aldi/Lidl specials until they have them.
Yes they have the codes for most TV's but if it's not there, you can search using the remote for it.

uum

I just got a nine in one off ebay for £4 incl del. I hope its decent

dubal

I got mine in the pound shop and it works fine, no problems.

Anyway with the kids I don't expect anything to last more than a year so a 3 euro investment works fine. I have the Aldi one too, looks better, bigger manual and is probably more sturdy. To be honest though there was no major difference.

I picked up one for 2euro too, last one though. The other cheapo shops range from about 3-4 upwards...

If they take aaa bats, best bet is the supervalue where along the quays where virgin megastore use to be (i think), pack of four mitsubishi cheapos for 1.50 or so...

I saw a decent quality remote in one of the pound shops for 5euro which definetely looks better than the one i got, but mine works grand and is for a bandy tv so its style doesn't really matter!

I bought an 8-in on jobby in Lidl a while back for about €8. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the Silvercrest DVD player I bought in Lidl at the same time, but it does do the TV and Video, both Black Diamond, and I'm hoping it'll do the Sky digibox when I get it in.

uum

Thats grand but i dont even know where there is a pound shop in dublin!
Any help or directions? Preferably Stephens green area. Thanks

chump

none in that area, loads around talbot street and a bunch around liffey street (well not actually, but that street off henry st. that leads to liffey street)

Kristok

yea have the lidl 8in1 too its great in general but dosnt work with my dvd player and stereo but it does with the ps2, go figure.

dubal

There may be one on Camden street, though I could not be sure what stock they have.
