Sky - changing channels

[vauny]

Don't know if this is the right section but anyway - Is there a decent device available to enable me to change sky channels from another room, without buying another digibox. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's called "Legs". Seriously though, why would you want to?

Thanks kempie

Kempie, me again. Does this also work for cable (NTL)?

[kempie]

HappyFace - it depends on which STB you have (or more accurately which remote control NTL supplied with the STB) as to whether or not a bog-standard remote extender will work.

Rough rule of thumb; if you have a blue remote as supplied with Pace STB models 4001 and higher, and with Samsung STBs, you should encounter no problems.

The only reason we didn't get it was he didn't take debit cards which we were grateful about HE WAS CHARGING DOUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .maybe it was a side line he was runing without skys knolwedge!!!!!!!!
