When you called Logitech, did you ask for a replacement part, or did you say your remote had broken? I called and just said my remote had broken, and they sent me a replacement for free as a "one time courtesy". I didn't argue with him - I'd have happily bought it, but I hear (from you and other

Also, you can use a JVC DVD remote including a universal remote with JVC DVD codes. I use my Yamaha AVR remote to control my SB3, works great. You may need to enable this in SBS > Settings > Player > SB3 > Basic -- toby10

thanks everyone for the quick & plentiful replies. its good to hearthat the touch remote will work with the SB classic, that is definitely a viable option. although I am slightly concerned about the lack of brightness button for update, I am not sure which firmware version I have, i'll check it o

I've noticed Amazon.com has new, slightly discounted SB3 Classic units in stock. The seller is -among others- amazon, and while the stock does not seem high the offer has been running for a week or 2 already. For ~ $230 you could get a spare SB3 and a new remote ? Look for "Logitech Squeezebox" on

The Brightness button is used for firmware updates on the SB2/SB3/Classic. If you don't manage to repair your SB3/Classic remote, then you should set the SB to update firmware automatically. You can do this (after you get a functioning remote) by holding down the left arrow key for ~5 seconds unti

One option would be the remote for the Touch. It's more similar in size/functionality to the SB3 remote. The Touch remote, I believe does NOT have the brightness button, which I think is used to re-initialize the SB3 if required (don't remember the process). How "broken" is your SB3 remote? The

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can install the iPeng app for $10 and it makes a great remote/controller for any Squeezebox. Alternatively, consider getting the infrared remote for the SB Touch. It's smaller than the original SB3/Classic remote and doesn't have all the same buttons (no B
