NTL Video sender

Hello all,

I was hoping someone could point me to a good video sender for an NTL box. I want one you can use to change the channels with (if there is one) and preferably as cheap as possible (the world... I know...)

Thanks!
Being bored is so boring Im bored of it... :rotfl:

    We got a Philips Video sender from Argos was about £70, and we live in a house made from concrete, which can be difficult to get things like this to work. This works a treat!
    Hope this helps.

    We didnt want to pay that amount to be honest,,,the way we looked at it is an additional NTL box is £15 a month, 5 months covers the price, and not all video senders work with NTL and concrete wall. We've had it for 18 months now, and love it.

  • Could someone explain how these boxes work? :confused:
    They sound like a good idea but I'm just not sure how you set them up & if they're easy to use (or not!) Thanks
  • Hi

    Try this site - it's the official Philips refurbished shop and they have a couple of very cheap senders - postage is a bit steep though...

    Hope this helps

    Is this it?

    This seems like a good price but no product description!

    We have got yours from Tesco's priced £24.99, its works a treat.Not had any problems with it, can not remember the name - but will have a look when i get home, if you are intrested.Its great we can watch NTL upstairs without having a extra box. The down side is that if there is people watching down stairs they will have to watch what you are watching upstaits, and vice versa.
    Hoping that when I start looking after the pennies, and the pounds will take care of them selves :j
