Price of new remote?

davie_gla · 23-03-2004, 21:33

Anyone know how much NTL charge for one of the new remotes? Nothing is wrong with mine, but I would like one that will work the tv.

For Glasgow customers it's normally ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£15.00

They will normally now ask you to return the faulty remote when they send you a new one, therefore if it isn't found faulty they will charge you.

Yeah I just got a new one....intermittent fault on the channel up button - overuse I expect.

Very quick to send a new one, complete with a padded postage paid envelope to send the old one back.

If it's faulty then there is no cost for replacements. If you just want the new one (much better than old one, nicer buttons and can control some bits of your TV too) then as mentioned earlier the cost is ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£15.

Does the new remote work with the Pace 2000 box or is it just with the 4000? Also, what TV functions does it control? I'm only after Volume control

I *think* you're in an ex-coco area (as opposed to original ntl) and believe in that case the remote control you receive doesn't control volume.... Please someone more techy correct me if I'm wrong...

ex-cwc areas have the brand new remote control as well. exactly the same as the orig-ntl remote, except grey coloured!

both areas have the new remote. and they all control TV volume.
i'm ex-cwc and i have the new one - it's blimin' good!

Thanks everyone. Ive had a look on Ebay, theres somebody selling over 50 of the new langley remotes at a fiver each so I've ordered one from there! Hopefully it'll make things easier when Glasgow gets the new software!

Chris W · 01-04-2004, 21:56

erm... are you aware that the remotes remain property of ntl... so not really sure if the person who is selling them is actually allowed to!

be careful....!

That depends on if the remote came with the STB (or was a free replacement) or it was purchased as an extra remote from CS.
