Hi all,

Does anyone recognise the remote control below? I'm pretty sure this is the remote for the analogue Sky receiver I used to own back in the day, and have now lost. I'm curious what model it was but my google foo has failed me, nothings turning up.

[Edit] There are no identifying marks on it, but inside it says SUM-3 IECR6, which matches a lot of unrelated remotes.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Not an official Sky remote, but it might be from a receiver that could have used a standalone videocrypt decoder.

Looks like a Pace one to me but I'm more than willing to be corrected.

No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

Dunno, but that Amiga needs a bit of Retrobrite... :-rofl2

To me "Amstrad" springs to mind but I had a look for remotes for SRD400/510 etc and they all looked different.

Definitely not a Pace but I also think it is Amstrad - not the SRD400 and earlier but one of the 500 series.

There were never any Sky branded analogue receivers.

I didn't think it was an Amstrad, but I've just found this picture of the Amstrad SRX2001 and its remote is pretty close to mine - just with more buttons.
More googling on the SRX range revealed the SRX2500 which the more I look at it the more I'm certain is the model I had. Can't find a picture of one with its remote, but close enough :)

Thanks all!

If it was used on Sky analogue and had an internal videocrypt decoder then it would have been an SRD model not an SRX. D =decoder X= receiver in Amstrad model numbers.

Hmm, yes. It definitely had the integrated decoder.

The other option is the SRD700. I can't find a picture of it, but this page shows a match for the remote control I have:
Equivalent remote control Amstrad SRD 700
