I have a freeview box and I just can't find the remote control.....The freeview box works fine except I want to be able to retune i,t so that I can pick up the newer freeview channels.. like More4, Film4. Would this work http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5344905.htm or can you recommend another controller. .................................................................................The reason for the 4way remote controler is that I would like to control our devices also.

    It looks like it might work, but there's no way to really know without actually trying it. Check in your local Argos whether you'll be able to take it back if it doesn't work with your box.

    FWIW - I bought a Philips 6-in-1 remote control which works perfectly with our Philips TV, DVD, and VCR, and also with our Aiwa stereo. Took a bit of programming to map some of the buttons, mind, but now we have a pile of spare batteries :)

    Cheers thanks for our info on this. Argos being able to take it back means that I am only risking my time and not money.
