Options
Hi, my old Sky digital remote is about to die, half the buttons dont work anymore! Where is the cheapest place to buy a replacement or does Sky give you one for free?

    Free one! LOL.

    Seriously though Argos and Tesco sell 'em.

    I think mine cost about £14.00
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

  • Erm, just a thought. Have you checked that it is not just run down batteries?

    It sounds so obvious put like this, but after all, isn't this site about saving money!

    MM.

    Will the engineer that delivers the digi box and dish, also fix it? Must you agree to take out one of Sky'e packages?
    Thanks

    The starter pack from CW says delivered by a sky engineer. I suspect that he aint comming unless sky send him after a contract is signed.
    Asda have the remotes on the shelf at £19 but go through the till at £14.

    maybe you could try ebay to find a cheap digibox or a cash convertor shop but don't know if they would stock them
