I currently have 2 508's and 1 501 that all use the same Plantinum remote. The remotes are getting old and I was looking to replace them but I was curious if the newer remotes that come with the newer 625 work with the 508's and 501's? To add to the confusion it looks like they come in a IR and a UHF and also different version's? I think I have seen a version 5.0, 6.0, and 8.0? Will any of these work with my receivers or should I just stick with the same remote that came with them?

Thanks!
Rick

Thanks for the reply. 1 of my remotes is in perfect condition, the other 2 are pretty worn with the numbers rubbing off, etc. and the SAT & TV buttons you have to hold down for 5 seconds before they light. I had found them pretty cheap on ebay like you said but I also saw the newer style remotes too for the same price and figured if they worked I would get some of them. But I think I will just stick with the original style. Thanks for clearing it up!

I have see 5 for around $30-35 including shipping which seems to be about the same as 1 anywhere else. I figure out of 5 one or two has to work.
