Suggestions to replace Pansat 330a

[TomP]

My wife's dog just ate the remote for my Pansat 330a. I've loved that unit since I got it, and thus have never upgraded. But the only replacement remote I have found is $40; I'm not going to pay that.
I'm looking for suggestions to replace that unit, something which is that easy to program, and works that well.
Or does someone have a remote for my 330a they would sell for a reasonable price?

I like my Coolsat 4000 Pro. Although the hot ones now are the Coolsat 5000 or 6000. They are easy to work with. Read Iceberg's review on the unit.

If you had a JP1 capable universal remote from One For All or Radio Shack, plus the JP1 cable and software, you could download the Pansat 330 file from the JP1 Forum, and load it onto the remote.
You can learn more about JP1 here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/index.php

If you're really looking for a new receiver, the Coolsat 5000 is very nice, and SatelliteAV had a few left for only $90 not too long ago. The Fortec Mercury II is well-loved, too. And, I really like my SonicView SV-1000.

If you got a few bucks, and like pansats, get a 3500s or 3500sd or the new and powerful 6000: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=50989


I have a 3500sd, and love it.
