A universal remote can be had for pretty cheap. DTVpal uses the same remote codes as Dish Network recievers, and also uses the same remotes. I often find used dish receivers and remotes at my local thrift store under $5. You should be able to find a universal remote for under $10 at wal-mart.
It should be crime to toss out a working DTVpal- they don't make them any more, and you would be disappointed with any available replacement. The program guide alone was worth the price I paid... If you don't want yours I'll adopt it!

replacing a broken dtv pal remote
Hi Daniel,
Hope you're still around. I've just registered so I can't PM you and I'd like to find out about replacing the remote for my dtvpal. I used the box once and it worked great. The next time I went to use it, the remote wouldn't interact with the box at all. I tried calling support but they weren't any help. Since the cable company took away the remaining channels last nite at 1am, I pulled out the dtvpal again to give it a try but with no luck. I put in new batteries and even opened up the case to see if I could find any reason for the contacts to not work. Since I'm new here, I'm not sure how else to communicate with you. Thanks for your help on this,

I also just registered, so I can't PM either. I have a DTVPAL with a missing remote. I used a phillips universal remote for a while which worked until the buttons on it broke. The new phillips remote doesn't seem to work at all. Just bought a 6.4 ir/uhf pro dish network remote from a place called "the dish guys" . I can't seem to get it to work the DVR at all. It brings up the system info if I press the reset button and the light on the dvr flashes if I press other buttons, but it doesn't do anything else. HELP!!!

Turning on DTVPal with a different DISH remote
Is anybody still monitoring this thread? Our DTVPal remote broke via a similar means. I have another DISH remote that looks a lot like the DTVPal remote. However, it is 6.3 IR instead of 5.3 IR. Should that matter? I just can't seem to turn the DTVPal back on. The power light flickers when I try to hit power after pressing the Aux button, but nothing when I hit the SAT power button (in the position of the PAL button on our old remote). Does anybody know what I will need to do in order to turn our DTVPal on again? We love it! It's the best. We simply need to turn it on and I think that I can re-program the rest.
Thanks,
Bruce
