Where can you get one?

If you've a branch of Poundland near you it's selling 9-in-1 universal remote controls for.... you guessed it - £1. They're available nationwide and the head office says it has 36,000 in stock so they shouldn't run out too soon.

More info

Thanks, Andrea.

I don't know if it is the same one but I bought a UET609 model from Poundland and it works great when I heeded to repalce the remote for my Hitachi tv. The only gripe I have is that the Hitachi codes given were not correct and I had to manually go through all the codes before finding the right one. Luckily I only had to try about 15 and now it works perfect. Amazing value when you think how much these universal remotes cost only a few years ago

Does anyone know if they can be used as DVD remote for the older PS2's?

Thanks!

Older PS2s didn't have a built in IR receiver, so you would have to buy one before any brand of IR remote would work.

Bought one of these just about a month ago. It never worked no matter what I did.I just figured I had thrown away just a £1.00 as I could not justify going back to the shop just to claim my money back or an exchange.

No it is supposed to be the real thing, with an instruction manual on how to program it for different equipment. However, as I said mine did not work...but I think others have had better luck.

I bought one of these about 2-3 months ago. Works great on
TV and two videorecorders . Basic control on dvd player.
Great for £1.00.

It could be that the codes are wrong for your equipment. Find your code booklet and go through them all. You could get lucky.

I've got one of these and they are excellent, well worth buying even if you buy it and put it away in a drawer for if you lose or break a remote control. Great fun can also be had if you take the remote control to pubs etc and control their TV!!
