Gotta tv where I just broke the remote control by dropping it on the floor. Cant get it to do anything.

The remote has functions on it that you can only find on the remote. For instance I cant change my tv from HDMI to local to av1 or av2.

Im basically stuck without a tv for the simple fact that my remote is broke.

Im either going to have to buy another remote ($70), or im going to have to figure out how to program one of these shitty universal controlers that I hate in the first place.

Where did the TV makers get the lame idea of having certain functions only useable with a remote?

They need to have every function on the tv itself just in case someone like me breaks a remote.

What were they thinking?

That's it's a great way to fleece people out of an additional $70

They take the code of your tv and match it to the remote. I ended up with a better remote on my Toshiba 62" projection and a better remote for my 27" JVC. I was very pleased.

Dont know if I should do this or buy one from the factory.

Remotes should do everything in order to keep the cabinet smaller. Now if they would just eliminate speakers.
