My 2700 STB Remote Control is not working properly anymore. I know it's an ancient receiver and I should probably think about just replacing it...

I called Bell World and 1-888-SKYDISH today and they told me that a replacement remote control will cost $39.95. I thought that was crazy, especially when a new receiver can be bought for $99.95.

Does anyone know where I can get new/refurbished BXVU 2700 remotes for cheaper than $39.95?

Alternatively, are Universal Remote Controls compatible with BXVU Receivers or is the technology proprietary?

Like this for instance:

Or is there one or two in particular that work best with BXVU? You would need to have a remote with a "guide" button and a "select" button...

check you private mail

nem, who gave you directions

There are a quite a few universal remotes that should work - I use the nextech brand (the SourceCC) may have some options

Check your local flea market, should be able to find one there, real cheap

Check the remotes in this thread. They will work with a 2700 too. I can't say enough good things about OneForAll remotes.
