4.0 out of 5 stars
Standard replacement Sky remote, at half the price, 16 April 2007
There isn't really a lot you can say about this remote. If you've lost or damaged your Sky Digital remote controller you're going to need a replacement, and this official remote is half the price the high-street retailers are charging. I ordered mine from LetsAutomate Ltd (via Amazon) using standard delivery and it arrived in 2 days, much faster than their estimated delivery time so I was already pleased with their service!
The remote functions perfectly and, apart from the new colour scheme (white/grey instead of black) is cosmetically exactly the same. However, being a newer `REV8' generation model (as opposed to my old black remote which was apparently a REV6) it is also programmed to control a greater number of TV models. Happily, this now included my Philips widescreen TV, so I can use this remote to affect my TV as well as my Sky box. Volume, terrestrial channels and teletext/ceefax can now be controlled with this remote, so I can retire the TV remote to the garage and that's one less thing cluttering up my living room!
The only minor issues I have that stop this getting 5 stars are a) that the remote did not come in `official' packaging, just a plastic sleeve inside an envelope with a bubble-wrap interior and b) the remote also didn't come with any batteries, although this wasn't a problem as I now had a few spare (the batteries from my old broken Sky remote and also from the retired TV remote).
Please also note this is only for use with standard Sky boxes, not Sky Plus or Sky HD.

This is the remote that works all the Sky Digital Receivers, easy to use, nice clear display, with good size buttons.

SKY SKY101 REV8 Universal Remote Control, 20 Oct 2007
I have replaced my old remote with this one as it wouldn't work properly with my new TV. It would not turn off the TV, mute sound or operate the information button even though I entered the correct code.
I bought this Version 8 remote control from Remotes Replaced. Not only did it arrive within a few days, it is a brilliant remote. I did not have to do anything at all. I pointed it at the TV and that was it - it works perfectly and I'm delighted. It also came with batteries which was a nice surprise! I would recommend this remote to anyone.
