    Hi,

    oh well, looks like you're gonna have to spend, have a look at Argos,

    71-5345753SPA68UC422907T.jpg534/5757 £14.97

    5341070A58IFN76609T.JPG534/1070 £14.95

    What is the difference in these, is it just the colour? They seem cheaper on Amazon and I have Amazon gift certificates so was thinking of getting it there.
  • Hi,

    not sure what the diff is, the white one looks a bit more mod though.

    Hadn't looked at Amazon, I was thinking more of just sprinting round to Argos and picking one up, though now, I would prob go for the £5.50 one, as long as postage is not too much.

    Can you give me a link to the one priced £5.50 as I don't see it?

    Hi,

    here you go, sky remote.

    I thought you meant it was being sold by Amazon, that's why I couldn't find it. :o

    The seller you found who is selling the remote at £5.50 charges £4.50 for p&p, total £10. Someone is selling them on ebay at £8.99. Argos is selling them at £14.97.

    The remote wont be used until Tuesday at the earliest that is why there is no panic on it. I will get the white one, but I just need to decide where I am going to get it. Good job I don't have to make important decisions, it would take me forever!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
  • Hi,

    I can see that you are not one to rush into things, you will have the postage on ebay as well, big decision, I mean, it is the price of a couple of pints, between cheapest and Argos.:rotfl:

    You can understand now why I was engaged for almost 6 years before I decided to get married and why I will be married 10 years and I don't have children. Too big a decision for me to make even with the help of my hubby!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
  • Hi,

    oh well, at least you've managed to decide between the black or the white remote, so at least you are getting there, did you toss a coin? You say it won't be needed until Tuesday, so why not just think about it over the weekend? :rotfl:
  • Hi,

    a couple of thoughts for you before you make a hasty decision,

    you could use one of those universal remotes, does tv/vcr/cd/dvd/digital. I've seen them in the £ shops for ............ er £1. :rotfl:

    But, back to Argos, (click on title),

    One For All Replacement Remote for Digital Satellite and TV.
