I would call Sharaf/Jacky's/Plug-Ins with the model number of the DU box and ask. I bet people buy universal remotes all the time after losing them, they should know which ones are compatible.
On the other front, has it possibly slid under/behind something you haven't looked? Or have you put it in the cupboard/fridge by mistake? I was once on the phone distracted and put my car keys in the freezer and the (sealed) milk in my gym bag... lol

Is it in the garden or trampoline, one of my kids put the remote in a pot plant once.

If I'd lost the remote during Euro 2012 (or whatever it is called) i'd be out on the streets

Weird, wish we had your box then 😉

My 11 month old has discovered that he can change the channels manually on the Du box by pressing the buttons! It's driving us nuts! Maybe that will do till you find th remote.
Have you looked inside shoes?

no, no maids been here for a week, and we lost it yesterday. im trying to go along with your line of thinking, but our place isnt that big, it's definately not in plain sight!!

probably no help but in the UK i got a replacement off ebay.... im not sure how that would work with DU as it's a rental, when people finish with the service the box and remote get returned to the company, dont they? so is ours - when you send the box back you don't need to send the remote - tell them you lost it which is probably true in 90 % of cases lol The one i bought is brand new - still wrapped.. I'm not worried about when i send the box back I'm worried about being stuck on one channel for the rest of my life!! Haha! Call DU they will send you a replacement. I'm sure its a common thing!
no!! they said in the shop they cant even sell me a replacement as they have no stock!!!
