i noticed in woolworths the other day some foxtel remote controls for $20. as some of the buttons on my current remote require super-strength to operate i'm thinking of buying one.
anyone here had one at all?
do you get everything that you get with a genuine remote?

thanks.

This is a far better option. $30 for a harmony 650

i got one when some of the buttons pads fell out of the foxtel remote, works great for me and more then half the price they want for the foxtel one.

Rather than the Harmony 650 - go this one: http://www.logitech....es/devices/8040

Simpler, easier on the batteries and doesn't have the unnecessary LED screen which is a bit wanky if you ask me :P

Don't waste a cent on another foxtel remote.

When you set up, you have 4 buttons you can program. I nominated one of these.

Try this one if you want a couple more buttons. You an set it up so that any button can be any button you want
