The dog ate my remote
 
Hes always taken a fancy too it. And unfortuntley, five mins alone with it has resulted in near destruction. He carefully aimed for the top end. Resulting in damage to all the 'important' buttons and the sensor. Are these costly to replace?

You ring and do not mention the dog, just say no to every test using the remote but yes to any involving using the TIVO box buttons and they will send a new one.

Won't they have to post the old remote back?

Thanks for all replies. Esspecially Pillz offer. Will give the Virgin call a go. If it dosent work, i did check out ebay. Any VM Tivo remote will pair up with my box and work?

VM also welcome to the dog at the moment!!

Just think you have a two in one remote now. Just press the dog and he can change channels for you. What more would you want :D:D:D:D

I stood on mine, I was completely honest- no tests done just sent a new one out for free. I changed to tivo a week later so now have two for the tele upstairs instead :)
Yes I still lose the remote!
