A remote without fastext buttons?

I need a remote to control three devices - none of which are tv. It will be for my CD, DAB and Amp.

I therefore do not want coloured fastext buttons on my remote. So far, I'm finding it very difficult to see anything which is just plain and sensible and not designed for also controlling a tv.

I don't want the Cambridge Audio M1+. And if possible, I would prefer something which has physical rubbery buttons, rather than a touch screen interface.

Any recommendations would be much apprecaited.

You could try getting a Harmony from the US as the US models of the remotes do not have teletext buttons (520, 550, 780, 880, 890).

What a goode idea!

Will a US remote have any issues with UK spec equipment?

How about batteries? Do the American's have AAs?! lol

You can usually get some good deals on american models on ebay, particularly if they are not the "latest" release.

Recommend a search on Harmony... never fails!

I did manage to get one from ebay!

And here it is in its new home!

I couldn't be happier with it - so thank you so much for the recommendation! :D
