Hi
I am currently using 4 remotes and looking to replace them all with just the one.
I am been searching around but the problem is I cannot find a 4-in-1 which includes the Sky+ functions (Play, rewind etc)
Currently using one remote for:
TV
Sky+
DVD
Extra Satellite decoder (Eurobird)
Any recommendations?
Thanks

Have a look in the Argos catalog - the details/blurb sometimes state which devices (and how many) they comply with.0

I have but the ones Argos sells with Sky+ can only handle 2 devices0

Bit of [ general ] homework for you, I must be picky because I never found one this side of a couple of hundred pounds that [ may, only may ] be capable of doing what I want.

Never found a universal remote that pleases myself and everyone else in the family - always some function that is hard to use without the original remote.
My perfect Universal would be like an iPod Touch: select a device, whether it be DVD, Sky Box, PVR etc, and a perfect image of the original remote appears will all it's function keys replicating that original remote! No doubt it would be banned on the first appearence as Sky for example would claim the copyright on their very familiar remote had been infringed.0 -
This is a little expensive (if you shop around you might get it for around £30) and needs a bit of patience setting up but is the best remote I have ever had. It controls Sky+ and everything else with ease.

I've picked up a Logitach 525 for £26 2ndhand off someone on the www.avforums.com For Sale section. Best £26 I spent last year.
I'm using it for plasma, DVD player, VCR, PVR, AVamp. Hardly ever need to use the seperate remotes.0
