To Universal Remotes

Dear Universal Remote Controls Priced Under $15,

You are not universal. You are impossible to program. How many times have I wasted my money on you, and sincerely thought I was going to be able to make you work? Several. That is the answer. What a waste. You make me mad. You make me sad. Who do you work for? Will you introduce me to them? I want to meet the people who you do work for.

No love lost,

Kate
(never again)


Dear Universal Remote Controls Priced Over $15,

Just because I am spending "top dollar" on a universal remote does not mean I need to link 4 or more 'things' together. I have a dvd player, and a tv. I want one remote. Maybe, just maybe I'll go old school one day and get an old vcr. But you probably won't support something that old, will you. Ugh. You only like blue-ray, and dvr's and uh, satellite boxes, and crazy stuff like that. I just want to be able to go from my dvd to my tv. I don't think that's so much to ask, and all the extra buttons- that just means 'll hit too many extra buttons! The likelihood of me hitting the wrong button and making horrible static appear on screen is dramatically higher the more buttons you add to a remote.

Some Animosity,

Kate
(I want to work it out, really)
