speaking of remote controls...
In going through a new MCM catalog, I noticed something new (to me,
anyhow) -- $13 replacement remotes that are (supposedly) customized for particular TVs -- the point being that they include menu access, PIP, and other features not commonly found on "generic" universal remotes. They're on page 55 of the "Summer All-Stars!" catalog, C23B22. I wish I'd had one of these a few years ago, when the remote for my Toshiba IDTV failed. -- "We already know the answers -- we just haven't asked the right questions." -- Edwin Land |

The problem isn't the codes, but having enough buttons of the right shape to handle the functions. |
