Excellent, but there's an error in the instructions. (explained in review)
Great, just like the original, but beware the slight but important typo on the instructions on how to set it up to work with your TV. It states you have to press TV THEN the 4 digit TV code at the end of the instructions, but it's the other way round. Anyhow, once done it works great.Mum was delighted as she couldn't change channel for a week, and was stuck watching Dallas reruns! LOL

Don't waste your time with cheap copies
We have been through a couple of cheap, non official, Sky remote copies, they feel and look cheap and tend to break after at best a couple of months of use.Save yourself the wasted time and reduce landfill by picking up one of these original remotes over a poor knock-off. You can be sure it will work and keep working as its official.The remote itself is sturdy and very well made, just like the one you had originally. Be aware this is for Sky+HD - not for the new SkyQ!

NOT SUITABLE for SKY+HD box
I'm probably the idiot - but I didn't spot the absence in the small picture [ASIN: B000LQ63UY} of the "Play/Pause/FF" controls; which means it's useless to me, as it doesn't do what's needed with a SKY+HD box. I do think that rather than saying "Can be used with any standard Sky box" there should be a specific warning:"NOT SUITABLE for SKY+HD box). For £7 I've bought a 'copy' (Allimity NEW Replaced Lost Remote Control fit for Sky tv hd SKY PLUS Remote) [ASIN: B01DVVDVCS] which worked straight out of the package with my Philips TV. I can't vouch for the Allimity with other makes of TV tho'.

Buy buy buy
I ordered this remote control as my original remote had been overused. The keys had worn out. I didn't realise how much till I got the new one. A few hours after ordering the newcremote I had second thoughts. Technology is not my forte. I worried that I wouldnt be able to program a new remote. I subscribe to Amazon prime which has saved me a fortune. You should all look into subscribing. Anyway I was really scared that I wouldn't be able to program the new remote. When it came I put in the batteries and it worked with no programming. I was really shocked but relieved that no programming was needed. Hurrah for Amazon. You really should join you will save a fortune. I'm so glad I joined as I have saved so much. If you subscribe to Amazon you get so many other benefits like prime now. Order what you want and it will be delivered within 2hours. You can't get better than that. Join Amazon and save afortune.

When you need buttons in your life...
I begrudge paying this much to be honest, but it's an authentic, good quality controller that is identical to its predecessor. When your old controller dies, it causes mega disruption and moodiness within the family (tragic, I know) so £20+ is probably worth it to restore normality. It was cheaper here than in the local supermarket and it arrived the next morning.

A perfect replacement
This replacement remote arrived in authentic Sky packaging complete with two Duracell batteries - it looks and feels original. In use this remote performs exactly like the one that it replaces which was supplied with the Sky box. The only bit of set up you have to do is to code the remote for your model of TV and that process appears to have been simplified in this version. Overall, a perfect replacement.

Please don't send out faulty goods with the wrong batteries.
This item was faulty on receipt. It had clearly been sent back before - the batteries were not sealed, nor were they Duracell. Replaced batteries with new ones and still no sign of life. If someone returns a unit as faulty, please don't put it back in stock. It is a waste of everyone's time and embarrassing for the purchaser.

Used Like New?
I was reluctant to pay full price for this and so when I saw a 'used like new' option for less than half the price I thought it was worth giving it a try although I wasn't expecting too much. Best decision I've made on Amazon! This was brand new in my opinion and had never been out of the box. The batteries were new and the only thing wrong - if you could call it wrong - was the packaging it came in, which was the original Sky packaging was slightly creased on one corner. If anyone has used this then it could only have been used once. It did take some setting up, as Sky no longer gives the number required for this model to be programmed into the TV. What I found though was a helpful video on YouTube where an engineer showed how to get into a secret menu on Sky and once you accessed that it was easy. The YouTube film was far easier to follow than any online instructions. I can't fault this item for the price I paid for it. It was also delivered the following day thanks to Prime. I recommend this product.
