Getting a new remote

[steve5424]

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.

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:-

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

The silver one is the telewest remote.

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?

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.

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.

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....
