    There were offers for free navigator remotes (well just a £1.50 premium rate charge for one and the other totally free apart from a short local rate phone call via your digibox) but they ended in the summer :(

    good post, threatening to cancel should work, why not hold out for 3 months half price and the saving should more than cover the cost of a new remote.

    You can pick up the old sky keyboards for about £1 plus delivery on Ebay - they are a bit big and bulky but perform all the features the remotes do!
    Bismillah
  • our remote broke a few months ago, phoned sky and they sent a new one at no cost out without a problem.
