Our remote for the Foxtel set top box,shat itself the other day and was so hard to get the buttons to work,so on a trip to Perth Today,well Serpentine to be exact,I dropped into Dick Smith's Armadale to get a replacement one,where we got our last one,replacement ones are normally about $50 to $60,they had none left in stock,but I came out with this,I noticed one on display as I walked in the door,sale ended on it today,a whole $69,Bargain,I been looking for a new one since my last one shat itself,some six months ago and I'mto stingy to pay to much for things,plus I then went to Harvey Normans,to see if they had the replacement remotes,they had a universal one which said it did the foxtel box automatically and it also does the TV,Bargain again,$19.95

Good stuff, Rick.  It's always good to get more gadgets, even better when they are on special.

Why wouldn't Foxtel replace your remote if it's all rented from them?

No dog's weren't guilty this time,only over use by the Missus,no sadly didn't get the lifetime map update,according to the software detailas machine was only manufactured a month and a bit ago and maps load are dated 24.06.2014,I did have a Navman before,that had the lifetime maps,I still have that program loaded on my other computer,I'll try updating this one with that program.
