I was told point blank in Comet that there are no video senders that work fully with Telewest (ie I can recieve the picture but will not be able to change channel from my bedroom)
I then went to Maplin who tried to sell me a box for £100 assurring me it definately works fully with Telewest and i will be able to zap channels.
So which is it? Does anyone have a fully functioning Telewest (make on box is Pace) and Video sender set up?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Apparently they all work with Sky and NTL, but Telewest is different somehow."On behalf of teachers, I'd like to dedicate this award to Michael Gove and I mean dedicate in the Anglo Saxon sense which means insert roughly into the anus of." My hero, Mr Steer.0

I think the Telewest boxes remote controls work on a different frequency or standard to other boxes that cannot be transmitted by the standard video senders.

Telwest boxes do not use standard IR signal controls, they use IRDA signals which I believe are not compatable with Video senders.0

I have a telewest Pace box, controlled by my Tivo and it works fine. Given that the Tivo is something like 3 or 4 years old I'm sure somebody must have built a sender capable of working with telewest by now.
Anyway, NTL use the same Pace boxes as TW
