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
