Didn't realize you were in the UK.  It is odd how prices are so different
over there.

Back on topic though - as an FYI to other looking at remotes, I had
previously ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Windows-Control-Infrared-Receiver-Ultimate/dp/B00224ZDFY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287604325&sr=8-1

However it was a knockoff of the real remote (or version 1) so it would
almost work, but many buttons would not function as intended despite a fair
amount of time configuring it.
