Went for the Man City one for £4.99 - £1.80 TCB as back up when mine fails...as it will! (so not bad for a GENUINE SkyHD remote) - those cruddy ones available on ebay arent even worth 50p!!

Buy the Man City, take apart your old remote and replace the Man City front half with your old front half. You'll have a brand new non-city remote.

Aren't I right in saying Sky have totally stopped supplying/selling HD boxes, like nowadays you can only get Sky Q if you want a new box or are a new customer?
Saucy charging more for some, they should all be fivers seeing they've made the HD box obsolete already.
They could always start knocking out special editions rather than random colour back panels in the Q remotes to earn their dough back if that's what the dodgy pricing on these old ones is about. Blimey they could sell them in pairs, the standard push button and touch ones
deanos to Chasloyal
10 Apr 17#16
Now you mention it, why are sky selling the Q remotes as you don't own the box so if it's faulty they should replace for free anyway

Very good point that and worth ringing up CS about that but they'll probably say it's for those with mini boxes because as far as I know you only get the push button type with them so if someone wants the touch effort they'll have to buy it separately.
Won't make no odds to us because neither of us can get on with the touch, when she's got her work transfer sorted and up here permanently we will start subscribing to the multi room but obviously won't need to fork out for an additional remote.
All that said if they released Q remotes in various editions and I liked a certain type I would most likely be suckered in to buying one, being Millwall I don't expect to see a Lions branded Sky remote before the next century so it'll have to be a non football club themed one for me anyway :smile:

Good deals for genuine remotes, however the two ebay cheapo ones I have are fine, they just don't feel quite as tactile as the official ones but they work well and the setup codes for your box and tv works exactly the same.

If you're doing any sort of change to your package with one of the people on the phone or the chat, ask them for a new remote and they'll most likely just send you one for free. At least they did for me.

I don't know if they are still doing it, but when I had Q installed they gave me a touch type control, but also a more traditional button based one because of the amount of people moaning about the touch ones (which is valid, I can testify they are shocking- got a mind of their own and regularly fast forward or rewind all the way when you're watching something). If they are only handing out the touch ones I can see people wanting to buy a button one...

£13.99 for a 2tb remote bloody result cheers
Taksim_Red
11 Apr 171#56
Yes you can. Just run a length of coax from the RF2 port on the back of the box. You'll have to enter the Installer Settings (Google it) menu and turn on the D.C. power for the eye to work. If yours is one of the newer(ish) boxes you'll need an IO link adaptor as well.
Sky dropped in built magic eye support a few years ago in favour of in built WiFi. The boxes either have one or the other. So depending on whether your box has the in built WiFi you'll know whether you'll need the IO link or not.
You can of course only watch the same channel on both TV's at the same time.

Blimey that's a blast from the past, I remember installing a Sky eye in our bedroom when we first got 'Sky Digital' and the ex was pregnant with my younger at the time, he's just about to leave secondary school now :confused:
You can only watch what you got showing on the Sky box though so it don't serve much purpose by modern standards as such.

My country has been killing 'innocent' people for centuries and I can live with that seeing it's most likely contributed to you and me having a comfortable life so why should I start getting on my moral high horse about them psychotic medieval cranks doing it?
I have spent a lot more of my life hating militant Irish republicanism than I have hating militant Islam so I maintain I have good reason to hate it's athletic wing celtic fc.
And as for whu, well hating them is just how you grow up when you follow Millwall and it's nothing personal or ideological.....they're just vermin, they can't help what they are :smirk:

Ordered 2 x items on 11th April, received a confirmation email telling me to expect the items in 7 working days and the money was taken out of my account the next day.
Nothing arrived so on Monday I tried to follow it up. There was a link to select should you want to chase an order up. Got a silly "Oops - this doesnt work - call us" message. So I did.....waited for 10mins and then got an offshore person who kept getting my name wrong and repeating things incorrectly. I gave her my details and she didnt wait for me to complete my order number. She said that there were no orders under my name!
She then kept repeating the order has not replicated onto her system and asked me to google sky.com/mytrack - which didnt work.
After spending 20mins of getting nowhere I was told that she would send an email to the SKY Accessories team and this would be picked up in 48hrs. I haven't heard anything back and I am not holding my breath!
Absolutely shocking customer service - both via the website and the call center. How is anyone meant to follow up on their orders? Are SKY just content with taking your money then making it impossible to chase it up?
++NOT HAPPY++

same here. After multiple tries to call, and 2 days sniping at their chat, got an email address. Wrote there, in 24h received a reply from a person who doesn't seem to read my email asking stupid questions. Replied with the quotes from my original email, because it already contained answers to those question. Waiting now.
