CPC sell hundreds of replacement remotes:

Most of them seem to be £7, but for some reason most of the remotes are 
not listed.  Unfortunately, CPC is one of those older British mail-order 
companies where their website is definitely a poor second-best to their 
paper catalogue (like RS, Screwfix etc. etc.) :o(

According to the paper catalogue, the "HSO133402" is suitable for Sagem 
PVRs, and so would probably be a good match for MythTV.  It costs £6.90.

Cheers,

Tim.
