Program foxtel remote

After extensively searching the web for reasons why, I finally came across a post in one of the Whirlpool forums which suggested that you can only program your Foxtel remote if it is a " Universal Electronics " brand, not a Phillips one. I am extremely disappointed about this - it is blatantly false advertising; why would you have a large part of the manual which is downloadable from your own website, laying out pages of info on how to program your Remote, when you already know you have given me one on which it is impossible to do so?

I would like my Phillips remote replaced with one of the Universal ones - I think it is the least you can do for a new customer, especially as the manual from your website quite plainly says I should be able to program my Foxtel Remote as a universal one. After speaking to a few people, they all have said they managed to get one of the Universal Electronics remotes after complaining about the lack of functionality of the Phillips one.

I would much appreciate it if you could reply to this email ASAP, letting me know the best way I can get this resolved - if need be I can drop my remotes I have 2 off to a shop to get swapped obviously I cant go without a remote waiting to get one posted back to me , but as long as I get the proper Remote I'll be happy to not pursue this any further. I look forward to hearing from you soon Regards Brad Gill.
