    Default Satellite Vu Duo2 New Remote

    My Vu Duo2 remote has finally giving up the Ghost so I will be needing a new one. Does anyone know where you can buy one at a fair price and possible local seller.
    Thanks

    yes they have the Clones there and one person said to me they are ok.
    The Original remotes are Shi.t and they play up even when you don't use them for 9 months. I bought Chinese Learner remotes, 3 off them for 5 bucks each and I learn't all of the Codes except the Record button so I had to use the Record on the Original remote and because I did not use it for 2 year it would NOT WORK AT ALL!!!. Pulled the remote apart and its NON serviceable (to be cleaned).

    Only issue I have had with the VuDuo remote was the contacts, a simple fix of applying graphite (or soft pencil) haven't had a problem since.

    No you cannot do this with the Vu duo2 remote as you cannot see the Contacts as they are 1/ sealed with a flexible contact and they have a Full clear Plastic cove the lot of them and damage is done if you try to get it off. I have fixed many remotes but never seen anything like this before.

    I LOVE my Harmony 525. I have 13 devices on it with 7 different activities. My only issue with it is that the numbers & colours on the white buttons at the bottom have nearly worn off. I don't worry about the number pad, but the coloured buttons did worry me. I've solved that issue by using coloured markers and then coating them with clear nail polish.

    Well, I can't see any Harmony RCU's for $11 either.

    The least expensive from the latest link oceanboy has provided is the Harmony 350 Control $ 49.99 - .

    The least expensive unit that JB HiFi has is the Logitech Harmony 350 Remote Control for $39.96 - .

    I wouldn't touch the 350. Without a screen, you have to remember how you have customised buttons. On my 525, my home theatre amp has 23 screens of 4 buttons which don't have a corresponding mapping on the standard set, most of which I use only rarely. If I had the 350, I would either have to use the original remote, or have a written list of the mappings to refer to, and even then there aren't enough buttons, so I would need to configure it as 2 or more devices.

    The word 'Logitech' in your post #12.
    It is coloured blue indicating that it is an URL (link).
    Left click on it and you are taken to the Logitech website.

    Perhaps it's not what you intended?
