My RC TV don’t work anymore since yesterday. Back to the old days changing channels and lowering uppering the volume by hand but still digital though. You don’t zap as often.

I'll get an ''all for one'' tomorrow for like 15$ but it was just funny to see my GF not wanting to change the channel and all.
But I remember once, I was searching for the RC and there was a program I didn't want to miss, I never thought to open the TV straight from it and I missed like 5 mnts of it.

I will spend 20 minutes looking for the remote control before I will change the channel by hand.

It's kinda like seeing something the vacuum won't suck up, then picking it up to look at it, then putting it back on the floor and trying the vacuum again.

I can't explain it, but there you go.

Broken remote controls and copious amounts of poutine go well together.
You'll survive 24 hours...

Pete, have a look at Remote Central:

http://www.remotecentral.com/

for around $50 US, you can get a Kameleon, which is pretty nice and is able to macro well:

That looks like a very nice remote.
Edit: The newest one I mean.
Will have to read more about it.

i suppose if you like multiple remotes that all look different and don't care about macros or light control, yeah i can see your point.

you really need to use one before writing it off. guaranteed you'd never go back.

I have a Kameleon. It sucks. Battery life was horrible. It made a buzzing sound. And just after the 30 day warranty ran out, it stopped working completly.
