Remote control for squeezebox classic

[DaveWr]

That's really good news. I think you need to make that more apparent to people.

When will the remote be available?

Thanks for your help.

It is the Back-lit Infrared Remote that I'm after, and I need to get it to England.

I'll email the chap at the above address.

I just placed an order and it is now in shipment.

All looks very good.

Thanks Matt

Would you care to let me know how much the remote + shipping was?

we can ship ACCESSORIES overseas. Email me at mparry@slimdevices.com or sales@slimdevices.com for more details

I've been waiting nearly a month for a remote in the UK, from a reseller. They told me that Logitech in Europe are completely hopeless at shipping.

Could somebody give me a rough idea of costs please, for a backlit remote sent to the UK ?

Many thanks,

OK,

I ordered as per Matts instructions.

Remote was as per US pricelist - conversion to GBP was a credit card rate.

Shipping via UPS was free.

Duty estimated in UK - was £3.17. I also bought an IR Blaster.

The crunch is Duty was by Cash on Delivery - UPS charge £11.00 as brokerage fee. I think this is reasonable, especially as shipping was free.

Delivery was trackable all the way !!

Any updates on Classic Remote availability for 2010? The Logitech site does not sell this remote. Or can I just use the Touch remote as a substitute?

[aubuti]

The Touch remote is a very good substitute for the Classic. I like the slightly smaller size a lot better, but it retains the alphanumeric keys that are so useful for fast browsing and searching. However, the Touch remote does not have a Brightness button, which is used for firmware updates on the Classic. So if you haven't already done so, you should change your Classic to accept firmware updates automatically. It's in the firmware settings that you can access by pressing and holding the left arrow button. Fyi, the Touch remote also doesn't have a "Size" button.

Ripcaster is selling a "Back lit IR Remote Control for Squeezebox Touch, Squeezebox 3 Classic, Squeezebox Boom, Squeezebox Radio." What unit was this remote originally meant for? And does it have the Brightness / Size buttons noted above? (Can't tell from the very small pic available on the Ripcaster website.)
