George who runs Eklecticsystems is a trusted and long time supporter of OzTiVo. Years ago he also supplied Refurbished TiVo's to many of our members.

This Remote (and any other TiVo branded remote) will work with our S3's.

Just be aware that there are few differences. Compared to our S3 remote this remote is missing the info & window buttons, the Guide and LiveTV buttons are combined into just one button (which is really just Guide) and it does not have the switch which is used if you want to control 2 TiVo's with the one remote.

Also the Remote codes loaded into the remote (for TV and Amp control) are different so models that are on our S3 may not be on the Thompson version.

That said these differences really do not effect most people, and these make good replacements.

Failing that there are many learning remotes that can be used with TiVo.
