Remote being used
Sky+ remote (popular in Ireland/UK)
Pros
+ Easy to set up, worked straight away once programmed in GUI
+ Great signal reception
+ Good forum - helpful information/feedback from Jason and Chris
+ Family friendly once set up!
Cons
- Delivery was a bit much but now more options available pricewise.
Overall
Delighted with purchase, bought 3 in total for extended family.
Sky+ remote works perfectly now though few buttons had to be reprogrammed twice
(helpful note for people interested -> sky+ remote was reprogrammed as sky+HD remote so not to interfere with other one in same room)
