I want
wired remotes to come back...remember them!
They always worked no matter where you were in the room.
With a WR, you:
Don't have to worry about the batteries slowly degrading, or the orbs having to be in correct alignment to have it work each and every time.
Don't have to slap it on your leg a few times to re-position the weakening batteries to get it to work.
Don't have to hold it in the air over your head and wave bye-bye with it each time you press a button.
Don't have to find the correct wall to bounce the signal off of, nor have to hold it over your feet if your you're watching in a reclined position.
Don't have to keep a slew of fresh batteries close at hand, so the
half-used batteries can be replaced at a moments notice, and ultimately discarded in the trash, half-used.
Make the cord at least 50' long so it can reach anywhere in the average sized room.
I'd run it under the carpet, or through the floor, into and back out of the crawl space, and leave about 10' of slack, so not only it reaches and rests on the coffee table, but can also reach the other key couches or chairs in the room as well.
Bonus...no more having to walk around the room, carpeted or not, to find the occasional missing remote.
Out of the 100 or more remotes/televisions I've dealt with, most top of the line, the best shot for wireless remote signals are those that have fresh AA batteries, not AAA.
Lucky are those whose sweet-spot for viewing the TV screen is the same SS for the remote!
