Will sky plus remote work with older sky box?

anotherquestion

Hi folks,
I have the older standard sky digi box that I use for getting sky around the house to other tv's through RF2 output, but i need a new remote control as old one doesn't work anymore, no red lights on it when I press the buttons even though I have replaced the batteries.
Looking around for the best price for a replacement remote, will the newer Sky plus remote work with the older sky digi box?
Many thanks for any info and happy new year!

Hi,

why not try this first, though I would use cotton buds, or gently with am old tooth brush and some kinda alcohol cleaner.

Whta  FM  says above.  I have done this with many remotes and 99% worked fine afterwards, use gin to clean all the contacts.
