I've just been reading some old posts about these new remotes and decided to give NTL a call to see if I could get one. I was completely honest and just asked if I could have one of the new ones that will control functions on my TV.

I was told that the only way to get one was if I was having a new install and therefore a new box or if my current remote was faulty.

According to the posts, these remotes can be bought from NTL at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£15. Did I just get the wrong CSR on the phone?

I am in an ex CWC area and still have my original Cable & Wireless branded box and remote.

Perhaps honesty isn't always the best policy. I could have lied and said the remote was broken and I'd have probably got a new shiny one for free.

Any help?
