Yea John!
I usually get that way when I can't find one of my remotes in bed, only to find it resting on my upper chest!

Speaking of "remotes"...why is it in this modern tech world we still need three to work the TV? Least for me it's that way, eh?

It's usually one remote per device. It's the number of devices connected together that affects your remote count.Speaking of "remotes"...why is it in this modern tech world we still need three to work the TV? Least for me it's that way, eh?

It's the manufacturers, they want all associated equipment to be their brand not someone else's. It's a great big conspiracy in the board rooms of each manufacturer. We need to revolt and demand standards be imposed. Actually, looking at my collection of remotes, it is rather irritating. I'm sure there is a tech solution but I'm too lazy to investigate much less implement.

Well, there's the remote and then the remote's remote and then the remote remote's remote and then...
PS: Not that I'm even remotely interested in this topic. I actually inhabit a world that runs sans even a single remote to "drive" any effin' device. Not even a remote lock/unlock for my cars --all "keys into locks to lock~unlock". Helps that I do not possess even a single "television" of any vintage, all of the audio gear is old-style analog or run via a laptop, etc. So there it is: I hld not a single object in my hand to click even a single button to make anything "work". Ever.

Fraid it does, Mys.
Tech now rules. Who needs a "Terminator"; a movie-made entity, when this "Trojan Horse" is already in the building.
But, it's called progress. Which through my lens, isn't always a good thing. But, hey...I'm a Luddite!

Guess it's time to switch to the "touch" pad.

This came to mind, a favorite and maybe his best. Roy Bittan's keyboard work is sublime and perfect, the vid likewise.

Technically, probably, since it is in fact, used to wirelessly and "remotely control" a electronic/electrical device, using RF, instead of IR communication with the machine..
I use my living room`s located A/V rack`s laptop`s wireless track ball (I dislike computer mice) every night while laying in my bed around the corner from the rack to manipulate the computer`s Win Media Player`s various playback functions while viewing the laptop`s display fed to my bedroom`s flat screen TV/monitor.

Unless you're of the "Touch Gen"...forget it!
Personally, tried this route...always went back to the "mouse". Guess I'm a tactile creature who needs a device in my hand.
Old gen thinking on my part as fingers are meant for other duties...but won't go there! Another thread, eh?

As is my mouse device, I reckon.
