At my abode, we have ten remote control devices for watching television. This includes movie player equipment. Why hasn’t someone universalized a remote that can operate all the TV brands, models, and auxiliary equipment? The short answer to that question will always be ‘money.’ Just think how much profit there is in remote controllers - especially if you lose one.
How much simpler life would be with only one remote. Surely if we can make cell phone that handle thousands or millions of applications, a remote should be a snap. NO!
I’ve had universal remotes. Some will control some devices, but those must be the ones I don’t have. I have remotes for TV boxes, cable boxes, recorder boxes, DVD players and plain old TVs.
I suppose it could be worse. Like in the old days when you had to get up and change the channel on the TV set.
Someone needs to make it their life’s work to invent a truly universal super duper remote. They could make millions.
I would also like mine to control clocks and raise the garage door.
