Virgin Remotes

Postby Sandeman » Sun Jan 22, 2012 4:22 pm

There appears to be a plethora of black Virgin remote controls on offer at various prices on ebay.
Does anyone know if they are compatible with the old Thompson PVR 10UK Models? (and obviously have the IR codes for the TV as well)
Keeping T1 up and running!

They aren't the seller's property to sell - they (and the TiVos) belong to Virgin don't they?

They're not compatible with the Thomson TiVo either.

Only the equipment you actually rent from Virgin Media belongs to them.

Extra / spare remote controls can be bought from various places, including VM themselves (albeit expensive).
as has always been the case with remotes.

The black VM TiVo remotes operate V+ and vice versa, but don't work with the Thomson TiVo.
