remote for my freeview box?

Ds2 has wrecked the remote by drooling into it (yuk - i know GROSS!)
Tried drying it out on the radiator. No luck. Can u get them in richer sounds, as theres one near me, or else wheres the cheapest. Do not want an 'all in one' remote.

  • Maplins seem to have a remote for all sorts of uses - https://www.maplin.co.uk, search for remotes. btw, what's wrong with an all-in-one? Apparently the pound shops have them - we never managed to get them to talk to any of our stuff!

    because if you have an all in one and you use it you have lost 'all in one' ;)

    Take the batteries out and put the unit in the airing cupboard for a couple of days. Then put new batteries in after checking the contacts are clean. Should work.

    Give Windym's suggestion a try it should work.

    I have cleaned keyboards in the dishwasher before now and
    dried them off for some days and they worked fine.

    Dont try it with detergent though :D
