863261 2010-03-02 23:11:00 Looking at getting one for the Father-In-Law, and just wondering if they work with the Sky Digital boxes? His telly is a Panasonic Plasma (only a few months old), so I assume this won't be a problem? nofam (9009)

Looking at that? :p

I'm not sure on the compatibility sorry, although I bought a dirt cheap philips one a while back and it works fine with an old Sky decoder, just looked at the brand of it and punched in the codes till one worked.

That's the funny thing Wrat - I wasn't . . . . . I'd been poking around on Pricespy, and then checked 1day at 12:00 like I always do . . . . . Gotta be lucky sometimes I guess!! :D

Was thinking about the model up from that one, but that price is pretty sharp!

863264 2010-03-02 23:24:00 I used to own that exact model - and yes, it worked just fine to control sky digital. I had to train it from the existing remote though, as there wasn't a pre-made template for it (although there are for most appliances).

Note that this may have changed - the templates are hosted on Logitech's site, and they keep adding more.

They had the colour screen version of that remote a few weeks ago, and it wasn't much more than the one they have got on their now . I think the colour version is quite a bit better .

863267 2010-03-03 01:02:00 Does anyone know if Teletext can be accessed with the remote currently advertised on 1-day? FoxyMX (5)

YOu could try to ask them, as they are the retailer. HOwever you will be lucky to get a reply in time, as they hardly ever use their live chat as it is always offline, they don't have a phone number, and they don't always reply to the comments in their comments page.

Yes it can be used for Teletext, if your TV supports it.
It has the 4 coloured buttons on the bottom and the usual numbers for jumping to pages.
The only thing it doesn't have is a hard button labeled Text, or whatever, for accessing Teletext. This is not a problem though as you can assign the Teletext function to any hard button on the remote or use one of the 4 buttons alongside the LCD screen.

863270 2010-03-03 02:49:00 Yup its probably similar to the 525 I use. The TT buttons are on the bottom. I just program it using the program from the logitech site. Havent got a lot on it at the mo tho. Just the TV, stereo and Xbox Speedy Gonzales (78)
