Re: Remote contols

Just the one which is used daily, there are others in a drawer which I no longer use. Had a panic the other day when I must have pressed "3" too hard and the tv/digi box got stuck on channel 3, then went to 33 and then 333 and kept repeating that. Its very difficult trying to work the tv/digi box without a remote! Eventually got a brainwave and used tweezers on "3" on the remote, thought I'd got nothing to lose, and hey presto got it working again

Re: Remote contols

I have four:

1 - TV

1 - Virgin box thingy

1 - DVD

1 - Video recorder

None get used as I don't switch my TV on any longer. I think I busted it anyway.
