[Give Away] Programmable DStv Jumbo Remote

[JG_RSA]

Hi Carbies,

So, the housekeeper dug this out from behind the TV cabinet in the upstairs lounge today while cleaning.
It must have fallen off of the cabinet years ago and somehow landed underneath the cabinet. Nobody ever missed it as I've bought it on a whim years ago and never used it.

I'm offering it FREE to a good home.
I'd like this to go to someone who actually needs it, please.

It's set up by default to control the HDPVR, 1110 and 990 decoders (yes, it's THAT old), but it can be programmed by learning key-by-key to control newer decoders. I did a quick test and was able to program P+ and P- on one of the Exploras, so with a little patience, it can be done.

Age: Around 9 years, I think
Price: FREE

I was about to ask did you get this from Area 51? .....

 

[JG_RSA]

It's possible.
Honestly don't recall where I bought it and especially, WHY.

Have you checked that the batteries haven't leaked?

Have you checked that the batteries haven't leaked?

Yes, I've checked - seems OK.

 

[WiZard]

Ok, dibs then.

Ok, dibs then.

Replied to your PM.
You have first option, if you want it.

Jissus! That's a helluva remote that [emoji15]

Mind you, might be useful for some of the older folk (80+) who struggle with the small buttons on the latest remotes.

Waiting to hear back from Wizard.
If he passes on it, you're second in line.

Taken by Wizard.
I'm leaving the thread open until he receives it.

If it's not suitable to his requirements, he could put it up for adoption again here, if he wishes.
