      Dogs chewed our digital set-top box remote, but you can't buy them as a spare. So I had to buy a new set-top box. Even so, only cost $40

      Fortunately the one I had to replace it with was only a tenner from Tesco

      The one from my tv has a habit of dying after 2 years, has to be an exact replacement and it costs £30 a time :(
