Faulty remote problem replacing

I have a problem with my current remote for my v6. A few of the buttons aren't registering and the volume down is very intermittent.

I have tried to order a new one on the website but it tells me that as I have had a free replacement remote in the last 12 months it will cost me £9.99.

I have had no replacement remote in my recent memory, certainly not in the last 12 months.

Is this normal procedure?

Bit miffed.

  • I've got exactly the same problem - I've been going round in circles trying to solve this and then I got the same message as you that I have had a free replacement in the last 12 months and it will cost me £9.99.

    I too have had no replacement to my knowledge - I have two remotes as I have two boxes.  

    If we all paid £9.99 they would be laughing all the way to the bank.  I am more than a bit miffed 11

      Hello oflix and shirley9937

      Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re both having with your remote control and that shouldn't be normal procedure, if you haven't had one replacement remote already in the last 12 months. I will drop you both a private message, so that we can get the remotes ordered for you free of charge. Please look out for my message and we can get started.

      Kind Regards,

      Steven_L

    Hi. I am also facing the same issue. I've been using the same remote for almost 8 years since joining and need a new one, but the system says I've had a new one in the past 12 months. Can this be looked into please? Thanks

    Sorry can't help with your problem but I have a similar problem with my V6 remote. Can you post the link as to where I can order a replacement. I've looked on my account and can't see where to TIA Pete.
