Re: Replacement TV Control
As far as I remember they're £15 and you can get a replacement by calling Customer Services

Re: Replacement TV Control
OK despite the fact that they are free from NTL, the first person to PM me can have my still wrapped, spare shark remote.
All I want is a stamped and addressed jiffy bag to put it in.
can't say fairer than that.

Ntl will charge you £15 for a replacement, after all they have to pay for them their selves.

I may have knocked ntl in the past, but one thing I will praise them for is that EVERY time I have phoned to say my remote is knackered, they have sent me a new one by return of post FOR FREE. after all we do RENT THE EQUIPMENT from them!
They have sent me so many I have one spare hence the offer. I will be returning all my ntl equipment at the end of the month including a remote for each stb.

Re: Replacement TV Control
I think you only get charged the £15 if its stopped working because of something you've done - eg stood on it and snapped it or similar - if the problem is due to wear and tear, then I'm sure they'd replace it for free

Re: Replacement TV Control
In my region a £15.00 charge is put on the account. When the replacement is sent it has an returns envelope with it.
Once the remote is returned and checked if it is faulty due to wear and tear the £15.00 is refunded

stingy buggers, to think that they think it's worth somebody's time to test returned remote controls! :o

The Remotes are quite durable I think - they have to be, how many of you have thrown it in temper because the STB has frozen up on you?

Re: Replacement TV Control
They made me send my broken one back. They put a tenner on my bill and said when they recieved the broken one they would take it off.
I felt quite silly realy as it had been put in the bin on christmas day and it was a story we concocted to try and get another one 
Be truthful when you phone!
