boring task for the morning - order a new remote control

[RichardCranium]

Surely the contractor thing to do is just by em a whole new player?

have the Philippino maid change the channels?

I still didn't get round to it yet - and all those posts!

you could write a project plan for the procurement of a remote control instead

No thanks, I get paid by the hour so doing a plan for the next phase is more rewarding

wow - just don't mistake it for the blackberry and leave home with the wrong one!

Buying new remotes is for wimps... us engineers make our own.

Like the one for the sky box I made out of an infra red led, a 470 ohm resistor and a Compaq Portable III.

Works a treat.

Maybe you can repair mine?

PS3 and PlayTV should put a smile on their faces.

PlayTV - I had to look that one up - we are a Wii household (downstairs at least).

Unfortunately I am a not so well paid contractor of just 12 month's standing with some part-time working and no war chest with a high spending family and school fees to pay - so such luxuries are not possible a replacement remote control is it - I just need to increase my offer on one on ebay to get it.

tell him to get one of those touch pad flat panel remotes that combines all the remotes into 1 more complicated remote.. job done, 1 remote and as remote commando he'll be the only one who understands how to work them

tell him to go here and fill in the questionnaire to find your ultimate remote

1 remote to rule them all...

Logitech Harmony is the way forward.

OH God dont talk to me about bloody remote controls MR P has 7 - SEVEN of the flipkers. All for various bits of audio visual entertainment - oh and one for the lights. It drives me potty. I wouldnt mind but the TV only gets switched on at the weekend! I dont see the point of HD + bluRay stuff. I suspect its a bloke thing.

- as you were, rant over.

Oh what fun to look forward to in the morning - the kid's DVD player remote packed in and I have to order a replacement.

I would much rather be doing a MS Project Plan for the next phase of the current Project.

I had a b&w tv from the 60’s (in the 80’s) with a dial tune, I had to get off my lazy arse to change channel.

Kids these days.
