(if there's a way to access subtitles without the remote control, please let me know--can only get reception through sky, and tv remote teletext controls don't respond on these channels ('component' setting)


the remote for a Motorola sky box is broken. I can't see any model number anywhere on the remote, and it's hard to access the box (I can see the serial number/etc. on the bottom, but not sure what exactly to look for).

can I buy just any old new Motorola sky remote and it'll work? or, would I get a universal remote or some generic cheap one? or any idea where/what to look for on the box itself?
and where do I buy from? (the landlord/homeowner won't sort this out for us).

thanks for your help.
