Getting a new remote
 

Hi am from the glasgow area. I decided to look on ebay for ntl stuff and came across the new remote. Thing the person selling it is from manchester if I went for it would it work up here? It looks the same in terms of buttons and colour. I like the look of the new one. So any help would be good.

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Apparently they come in TWO colours, black and blue. Which one will work for you depends on the type of STB you use.
Check out halfway down the page on this link:-
http://www.redremote.co.uk/

Basically the black version uses IRDA, and blue version RC5 codes.
The Pace 4001 and NTL Samsung boxes use RC5 codes and the rest use IRDA.

Important -NTL NEW Blue RC5 remotes for Pace 4001 STB will cause a problem if you have a Pace 4000 STB.

Check out your STB type and make your own decision!

PS. I recently bought a silver remote on eBay for £2.50 and it works perfectly with my Pace 4000 STB. Only problem, and its minor, is that there is no page up/down button - but I can control my TV volume :tu:

HTH

The silver one is the telewest remote.

Re: Getting a new remote
 

I got a telewest remote for mine now, £2.50 on ebay... its so much better than the old cwc remote. Whats even better is theres no interactive button :D

Re: Getting a new remote
 

I have 1 new style RC5 shark fin with batteries , boxed and instructions the one you can programme your tv too. if any one wants this pm me with your details and cover the postage costs about £1.50 recorded delivery..

i also have a few jerrold v5 analog ones too (second hand) collections!!! grr

and 1 older style shark fin still wrapped.

If you can get hold of a black irda one i'd give you £4 in P&P for it :)

The telewest one is great but the ntl looks better and can it control more than just the volume and mute on the tv?

Re: Getting a new remote
 

I have a blue remote at the mo so would the new one be blue also. Am on Langley. The person selling on ebay live in manchester ? so hopefully it will work then.

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Does anyone know if a copy of the instructions and or codes to control TV features on the new remote has been uploaded to the net? Have an LG TV and would like the code and how to use the remote as I have no instructions for it thanks.

Re: Getting a new remote
 

ill upload a copy later on =)

Re: Getting a new remote
 

might not be the best idea to post your e-mail addy in public :)

Re: Getting a new remote
 

I have 9 email address's so not bothered

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Can you tells me what stb you have and post a piccy of the remote? I'd love a remote that controls the volume as well!

*edit* anyone know what stb I've got. It's got 'cable and wireless' on the upper right of the box and 'pace' on the upper left....

Re: Getting a new remote
 

1000 series?

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Dunno, how do I find out?

Re: Getting a new remote
 

I dunno either, just taking a wild stab in the dark. :D

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Sometimees will tell you underneath the box

Re: Getting a new remote
 

If it says Cable and Wireless, then it's a pretty sure thing that you're an exCWC customer ;) That being the case, while watching any normal TV channel, press:

Page Up, then
Page Down, then
Blue.

This will give you the system info screen, which has your STB model on it.

Hope that helps :)

Re: Getting a new remote
 

I agree with magpie. Press page up then page down then blue. The no of the box will be displayed on the customer menu. That's if your an x cwc. On Bromley. This will not work on Langley though. :)

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Aha! Hardware type:DiTV1000 :)

Re: Getting a new remote
 

Yup, theres something on the underside of the box but the kids have hidden my torch :cry:

Re: Getting a new remote
 

All in my original message, STB is DI 4000-N, silver remote is shown on Red Eye web page - click HERE


You can get a copy of the silver remote manual HERE !

It should work with the 1000, 2000 and 4000 STBs.
Hope this helps.
