Does anybody have any suggestions for a decent not too expensive remote to replace the one that came with my Skybox M3/F3
it seems that I have to be pointing directly at the box for it to work.
Would like something a bit better which is compatible with my LG TV too if possible same as the sky remote was able to do.
Thanks.

I would sugest something like i use from the Logitech Harmony range but for a decent one its twice the price your box is worth so a little impractical, so i would say have a look at the One 4 All range instead probably cheaper

Agree. The 300s are very customisable and cheap. They're supposed to work 4 devices , I actually run TV, amp, media player, DVD, satellite and pvr off mine.

Cracking little devices :thumbup:

More or less the same here ! TV, sat box, cable box, media centre , surround amp.

You can move buttons, copy buttons , reassign buttons !!!! Even have buttons for another device on say TV to operate volume on amp .... they are fantastic, only seem to last a years worth of use though :-)
But for ?8 (they was on offer...) you cant go wrong - plus all the customisation is saved online, so you just flash the new one, and pow - its exactly the same !
