Where can I get one before Saturday, some of the buttons have stopped working. Looked around seems you can only get Sky ones, just thinking if I phone them up its going be next week before I get it.

Your only option now is eBay and a dedicated Saturday courier. You're also gonna have to beg the seller to dispatch before the courier's daily cut-off time.

The high street catalogue shop sell several controls that will control Virgin Media boxes. Search for "Smart Control One For All Remote Control", very easy to setup and now controls all of my audio/video devices.

Either VM who will probably get it to you in a few days, one of the ebay auctions which might arrive in time, or get a compatible one - something like the Logitech Harmony remotes are great as all in ones

(I picked up some cheap last year and wouldn't be without them now - it controls the Virgin boxes, my TV, and bluray/dvd players faultlessly).

There are Virgin retail stores (to sell broadband and TV etc) which you can visit in person dotted about the country. Have you tried ringing one of those to see if they keep stock?
