Lost my PVR 721 Remote!

[treiher]

Probably thanks to my 2 year old who recently has taken to throwing things of value in the trash. I've been searching for a replacement but can't find anyone that carries just the remote. Anyone have any suggestions?

Try Dish Depot dishdepot.com I think they sell them for about $49.

Try calling 1-800-333-DISH and see what they have to say.

I will sell you one for cheaper than $49, I can get them wholesale. I can probably sell them cheaper than Dish Network if they charge you their regular price.

Unless I'm missing something, Dish Depot offers the 501 and 508 platinum remote, but not the 721 remote which has PIP buttons. I called Dish Network and they do not sell it either!! Only the 501/508 remote.

Jacob S. -- If you can get one, I will buy from you. Just to be sure, we are talking about the 721 remote, not the 501/508 remote. They are different.

Appreciate any more suggestions. Thanks!

This is what they call it:

DishPVR 721 'Platinum Plus' Remote Control

OK, I will check to see which one this is first. I am going to make a purchase this coming week so thts when I would order it if you are interested in it. I will check to see if I can get the one for the 721 Platinum Plus

Well I knew this would happen! After posting a request for info. on where I could find the (which I guess is called the Platinum Plus remote) 721 remote, we found it! My two year old didn't throw it in the trash like I thought, he just stashed it in a toy box. So, I don't need one now, but this still brings out a problem. You cannot find these remotes anywhere!! Only the 501/508 platinum remote, but they don't have the PIP buttons. And without that, you have no PIP on your 721! With the 721 being so new, I'm sure not many have lost their remotes yet, but this will become a problem if someone doesn't make these available.
